The library held a business appreciation night last night. Attendees included Lori Cicali of
Allstate Insurance, Jennifer Critelli and Diane Wilverding of
Berkeley Heights Nursing and Rehab, Jim DiMaio of
Derco Office Solutions, Marcella Gencarelli of
Hilltop Community Bank, Etya Novik of
Respira Salt Wellness Center, Julianne Simmons of
Investors Bank, Mike Shapiro of the
Alternative Press, and Midge Vicendese of
Berkeley Hardware. Stephanie Bakos, the library director, presented Pam Steiner of the
Rotary Club a certificate of appreciation. The Rotary Club raised funds for the library's new meeting room carpet with one of its Pancake Breakfasts. Also present were members of the library's board of trustees, Sheila Buthe, Hope Danzis, Karin Miller and Naomi Rizzuti.
Head of reference Anne deFuria presented
resources of interest to businesses. One example is ReferenceUSA, whose business directory and database of new homeowners/movers can help businesses find new customers. Her slideshow can be viewed
here.
Reference librarian Ellen Zander demonstrated downloading library
ebooks to a Kindle, and how the
library app lets you search databases such as Business Source Premier using a phone or tablet.
The Alternative Press wrote up the library event Friday morning.
