Hoens, mother, wife and an Associate Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. Her now-adult son, Charles, was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. We are most grateful to Justice Hoens for sharing her stories and lessons learned from her son. Feel free to bring your children, as child care will be provided. This program, which will take place in the Caldwell Community Center's gym, is free and open to the public. It is being offered as one of the many programs of the "Welcoming Library Spaces for the Autism Community and Their Families" project. The Caldwell Public Library and The Children's Institute, Verona, are one of the six communities collaborating on this pilot project which was created by INFOLINK. INFOLINK, The Eastern New Jersey Regional Library Cooperative, and its services are funded by the New Jersey State Library, which is responsible for the coordination, promotion and funding of the New Jersey Library Network. The Honorable Helen E. Hoens received her undergraduate degree from the College of William and Mary with high honors in 1976 and her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, cum laude, in 1979. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable John J. Gibbons and spent fourteen years litigating complex civil matters in New York and New Jersey prior to being appointed to the bench in 1994. Following her appointment, she was assigned to the Civil Division in Vicinage 13, comprising Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties. She was subsequently designated to serve as the Presiding Judge of the Civil Division for the vicinage, in addition to serving as Somerset County's Chancery Division, Probate Part Judge. She was assigned to the Appellate Division in August 2002, where she remained until her appointment, in October 2006, to the New Jersey Supreme Court. Justice Hoens maintains her chambers in Somerville. Throughout her years as a practicing attorney, Justice Hoens was active in a wide variety of civic and charitable activities. She was co-editor and contributor to the Legal Primer on Disability Law, which was prepared by the Essex County Bar Association's Committee on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a Committee on which she searched and chaired. Significantly, she was appointed to serve as a member of SPACH, the State Parents' Advisory Commission on the Handicapped, which was an advisory body established by the Department of Education, Division on Special Education. At various times she served, pro bono, as general counsel to the Autism Society of America, as a member of the board of trustees of COSAC (Center for Outreach and Services to the Autism Community), as a member of the board of directors of Eden Institute and as president of the parent/teacher organization of the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center. Justice Hoens resides in Basking Ridge with her husband of twenty-eight years, Robert Schwaneberg, a Star Ledger statehouse reporter. Their son, Charles, who is autistic, recently moved from their house to a group home in Hamilton, where he is thriving. Saturday, June 14, 2008 - EARLY MORNING BOOK GROUP - 8:00 a.m. - Remember to enter through the children's room - and join us for a discussion of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. As noted on the Barnes & Noble website: "Ten years after his acclaimed short story collection Drowned, Junot Diaz returns with a lollapalooza of a debut novel centered on a grotesquely overweight Dominican-American teenager named Oscar. Lonely, loveless, and living almost completely inside his own head, Oscar is a "ghetto nerd" whose multiple obsessions include comic books, fantasy fiction, and supremely unobtainable women. In a story that moves back and forth between the Dominican Republic and Paterson, New Jersey, Diaz illuminates the tragic arc of Dominican history (especially under the brutal Trujillo regime) in the lives of Oscar's sister, mother, grandmother, and aunt. Shot through with witty cultural footnotes, scabrous slang, and touches of magic realism, this heartbreaking family saga is a work of brave originality." Tuesday,

So, make sure you have an up to date library card! WHY
do you need a library card? On September 12, 2005 the Caldwell
Public Library started using a new circulation/cataloging system.
As such, your new card will: WHAT is PALSPlus? PALSPlus is a consortium serving 18 library systems located throughout Passaic and Essex County libraries. Membership consists of 17 public libraries (Bloomingdale, Caldwell, Cedar Grove, Clifton, Haledon, Little Falls, North Haledon, Orange, Passaic, Paterson, Pompton Lakes, Ringwood, Totowa, Wanaque, Wayne, West Milford and West Paterson) as well as Passaic County Community College. You are now able to access the catalog from any computer (not just a library-based computer) by going to our library's home page: www.caldwellpl.org. You are also able to view and have access to a catalog of over 1 million shared library materials from the 17 member library systems. In addition, Caldwell taxpayers will be able to walk into any PALSPlus library with their library card and borrow materials as if they were inside their home library. WHAT do you need to do next? Make sure you have your NEW card (Nat Lewis' rendering of our Carnegie Library is GREEN on the new card. So, if your card has a BLUE library building, stop in soon to trade up!) Each person will get 2 cards - a traditional library card as well as a smaller card for your key ring. Both cards will have the same barcode number. Prior to issuing these cards we will require you to update your membership information, as listed on your application card. Therefore, when you come in for your card please remember to bring current identification verifying your address. Any other changes? Yes, you MUST present your library card to access services and obtain materials from the Caldwell Public Library, or from one of the other cooperating libraries. Additionally, Caldwell taxpayers will be entitled to "open borrowing" privileges. "Open Borrowing" is a reciprocal borrowing program for walk-in patrons established among five of the major library cooperatives located in Northern New Jersey - MAIN, PALSPlus, BCCLS, LMxAC and SWELL.Caldwell taxpayers wishing to take advantage of that program must have a valid Caldwell Public Library card, be in good standing and have a green "open borrowing" sticker affixed to the library card. (For more information visit the website at: http://www.openborrowing.org) A ReBL card continues to be available to all Caldwell residents - which continues to be essential in those Essex County libraries that are not associated with a consortium at this time.
