Spirits were high at the library on Friday night as the RBPL Centennial Year commenced with food, drink, and friendly chatter. Notables such as Mayor Billy Portman, Congressman Frank Pallone, Policy Director Mike Illiano on behalf of State Senator Vin Gopal, and Library Director Eleni Glykis, among others, gave speeches, and atmospheric music was performed by students from the Monmouth Conservatory of Music. This event was a terrific kickoff to the library’s year-long celebration of the Centennial, and we remain truly grateful to the Foundation for the Red Bank Public Library for having made this event possible.
