The more things change...

Isaac Asimov was the featured speaker in the "Meet the Author" series here at The Library in 1982. See an excerpt from his visit on this month's edition of Encore E.B. Also in August on Encore (all taped November 1982-May 1983):

• residents complain about a tax re-evaluation of their homes (you've got to see this to believe it!);
• a look at East Brunswick farms;
• Touch Football League Championship Game between the Red & Black;
• clips from the 1983 East Brunswick High School Variety Show;
• the 1983 EBHS Boys Tennis Team;
• and EBHS Wrestlers are the District 20 Champions.

Encore E.B. is televised:
Sundays at 11:30 a.m.; Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m.; and Thursdays at 8 p.m.

Help Wanted at EBTV

Do you recognize this? It's a current slide from the EBTV Community Bulletin Board. EBTV's Community Bulletin Board Coordinator will be leaving us at the end of August, and we are seeking a new Coordinator. The position pays $12 per hour, and calls for 12 hours per week. The hours are flexible, but the Coordinator must come in regularly at least three times per week to update the bulletin board.

This is a really fun job, if you are a creative person with an eye for detail. You must be PowerPoint savvy and have a home computer. You must also be able to see EBTV Channel 3 at your house, so that you can confirm your work from home. And you must be willing to program "emergency announcements" for the township, like "school closings" due to snow. (You'd get those calls between 5 and 6 a.m. and program them from home.) You would be working independently most of the time (creating and editing announcements), but you'd also be talking on the phone and in person to all the people who use the bulletin board (customer service skills are important).

Many moons ago, this was my first job at EBTV. Since then, we've been fortunate to have had a number of talented and dedicated individuals coordinate the bulletin board. If serving the community and being in the middle of things appeals to you, and you're looking for creative part-time work in a great environment (The Library) - this may be the job for you.

You can see more about the job by visiting www.ebpl.org. Be sure to fill out an application before August 7!
