DISPLAY CASES
Large Display Case
Embroidery by Miriam Taub
For the months of March and April 2019, the large display case is showcasing beautiful free-form embroidery, handcrafted by Miriam Taub of Teaneck. Miriam first picked up an embroidery needle when working on the “sewing” badge as a member of the Girl Scouts.
For decades, she held a needle only to (badly) sew on buttons or repair a hem until she took a freeform embroidery class at the Art School at Old Church in Demarest several years ago.
The pieces that are displayed were produced as a result of that class. They incorporate embroidery thread, fabric scraps, crocheted bits, ribbon, yarn, wool roving, beads, sequins, jewelry findings, mirrors, and an onion bag.

Local History Collection Exhibition
The exhibition from the Local History Collection on the lower level stairwell display case is a selection of books and historical pamphlets, which mark the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th anniversaries of the founding of the Borough of Oradell in 1894. Although there is not a commemorative book for the 125th anniversary this year (2019), we celebrate the Borough’s history with these older publications. Copies of the earlier commemorative books are all in the Local History Collection and are available for circulation in the catalog. The books commemorating the 75th and 100th anniversaries of the Borough are also available for sale from the Friends of the Library.

Getaways on Display
A new display stand has been provided by Getaways on Display. Patrons can now browse through and take brochures and catalogs on travel destinations. Many of the brochures are for destinations that are within a driving distance of Oradell. The display will be updated every six weeks. The stand is located on the first floor, by the public copier and bulletin board.
