DISPLAY CASES
Large Display Case
For the months of November and December of 2019, the large display case on the main floor of the library showcases the rich culture and history of Armenia and Armenian Americans as presented by the Daughters of Vartan. The Daughters of Vartan was established in 1933 in partnership with the Knights of Vartan which was established in response to the Armenian Genocide. With their multiple chapters across the country, the Daughters of Vartan organization supports Armenian women and families around the world with education and leadership development opportunities. Members are committed to the intellectual, personal and leadership development of Armenian women and families around the world, while also promoting Armenian heritage and Christian values. In addition to the many contributions throughout the year, the Knights and Daughters of Vartan play key roles in the various April 24th Armenian Genocide commemorations around the world including the Times Square commemoration they sponsor annually in New York City.

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.
