Thanks to an RPS Education Foundation grant, teachers at our public school have been able to establish a “Little Free Library” which will be placed in the Roosevelt Public School lobby. Many communities across the country have implemented small free libraries where adults and children can take a book and leave a book. The purpose of the libraries is “To promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. There are nearly 40,000 Little Free Library book exchanges around the world, bringing curbside literacy home and sharing millions of books annually.” The student council at RPS will be responsible for establishing and operating the library which will serve as a learning experience in planning, cooperation, and in carrying out a school and community wide project. The library will be available to community members during school hours, and also on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:00- 4:00 p.m. Summer availability will be Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m
Dog Licensing
The 2017 licensing period for dogs will begin on January 2, 2017. In NJ all dogs over the age of 7 mos. are required to be licensed on a yearly basis. Dogs licensed from Jan. 2 thru Jan. 31 will not incur a late fee. Thereafter, a late fee of $1.00 per dog for each outstanding month will be charged. In order to license your dog for 2017, you will need to present a rabies certificate that will not expire before Oct 31, 2017; as an example, if the rabies certificate expires on Oct. 30, 2017, you will still need a new certificate in order to license your dog. The only exception to this NJ state requirement is for those dogs who have a verified medical condition and/or reaction to the rabies vaccines; in this case, the owner must present a signed, current statement (2017) from the treating veterinarian indicating that the dog cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. If you want to get a free rabies shot for your pooch, the borough is having a free clinic on Sat. Nov 5th 2016 from 11 am to 12 noon at the Borough Hall. Dr. Petranto, of Plumstead Animal Hospital, will again perform the vet services. The fees for the initial licensing period (Jan 2 – Jan 31, 2017) are as follows: Neutered/Spayed Dogs Non-Neutered Dogs License fee: $7.00 $7.00 NJ Registration fee: 1.00 1.00 Clinic fee .20 .20 NJ Pet Population Control -- 3.00 Late fee -----___ ------- Total $8.20 $11.20 Payment should be in exact cash or by check as the office most likely will not have change available. Sorry, credit or debit cards are not accepted. Best days for licenses are Tues - Thurs from 10 am – 3:30 pm. If you would like your license(s) mailed to you, you will need to send us a copy of the current rabies certificate, check or money order and you will need to supply a stamped self-addressed envelope – postage: .47 for 1 – 2 licenses, .68 for 3 – 4 licenses; over 4 licenses needed, please come into the office. Once again, dependent on weather and road conditions, we will try to schedule two evenings during the month of January for license issuance for those who are not available during the day but wish to license their dogs at the office.
