Working "behind the scenes," Frank Day made a difference at the library.
There isn’t a person who works at the East Brunswick Public Library that he doesn’t know, and there isn’t an inch of the building that he isn’t familiar with. For 18-plus years, Frank Day has called the library home, and for much of that time, it’s been his responsibility to keep the building going. Whether that meant making sure the vending and coffee machines were working, or if the HVAC, electrical and plumbing kept going, he was always up for the job. “There is no such thing as an average day,” said Frank. “Every day is new. Something every day needs to be replaced, from the electrical, to the blinds, to desks.” In December, Frank decided that nearly 20 years of being one of the faces of the library was enough and at the end of 2011, …

Visit with magician Mark Zacharia at the library and explore magic and medieval magicians.
Mark Zacharia remembers when his father introduced him to magic. “I was six and my dad pulled a quarter out of my ear,” the Scotch Plains-based professional magician says. “And I’ve been looking for more ever since.” On July 27, those who attend Mark’s program at the East Brunswick Public Library will be able to help him. While they’re there, they might also serve as a magical assistant, get to play in a kazoo symphony, and spend time in the company of a professional magician who loves performing for kids. “I always did magic as a hobby,” Zacharia says, adding that he turned his hobby into his profession about 15 years ago. “It was a wonderful opportunity for me to never grow up.” Zacharia has performed at countless libraries, corporate …
