Press Release 4/26/22

SOUTH AMBOY/SAYREVILLE – This week the Mayor Henry was pleased to announce the installation of a “little library” at the entrance to the City beach courtesy of the South Amboy/Sayreville chapter of Rotary International.

Embracing the Rotary motto of “service before self” the local club donated four of the small lending libraries which will be located in various locations throughout the towns.

Spearheaded by club president Mike Poll, a long-time educator in both communities, the idea is quite simple.  If you need a book, take a book.  There is no fee and all that is asked is for persons “borrowing” to return the books to the “little library” when done.

“This is a fantastic addition to our beach front.  There aren’t too many places more suited to relaxing while enjoying a good book.  I am grateful to the Rotary for their hard work on this project.”, said Mayor Henry.

In addition to the beachfront location the Rotary has also installed the libraries at three other sites including John Street in front of the South Amboy Board of Education offices, at the Woodside Mall near Karen Street, and at the Sayreville Board of Education complex/Selover School in the Morgan section.

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.  The South Amboy/Sayreville chapter is comprised of local professionals, business leaders, and dedicated volunteers all working to promote positive change in their communities.
