in our opinion
Happy holidays!
A thank you to everyone who helped to brighten the season for those in need
s the holiday season has a little more than a week remaining, we want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has
stepped up to help those in need. This
time of year usually brings out the
best in people. Judging from the number of announcements we received
from our readers regarding donation
drives, it looks like this year was no exception.
In the past, specific tragedies such
as Hurricane Sandy a few years ago
created an immediate need in many
communities. But even though this
area was lucky enough to avoid such a
circumstance this year, there is still a
big need.
Stepping up
Thank you to everyone who lent a helping
hand to those in need this holiday season.
But giving shouldnt stop just because the
holidays are over. Tell us about your donation drive throughout the year,
and well share it with the rest of the
community.

tee and some support from the older generation the event exemplified her mission
of bringing people together to support
youth, particularly those who feel disconnected from our community. More than 100
adults and youth, including political, community and student leaders of all backgrounds, walked and talked. Adults spoke
about the importance of their own mentors; students spoke about the need to reduce stereotyping and wondered how they
could be advocates for their peers. The panelists ranged from the first African American Princeton mayor, Jim Floyd, in his
90s, to Princeton High School student leaders.
During the event Mayor Liz Lempert announced the imminent establishment of a
Youth Commission so that our younger
voices can be heard in making decisions affecting our community.
So, what gives me hope? Young people,
and not so young, in partnership!

Kelly Riely, Do Something Club
advisor and JW technology educator, explained how the Do
Something Club has become nationally recognized for raising
awareness for various social
cause campaigns. With more
than 20 students, Do Something
bridges the gap between all three
grade levels representing the
school in its entirety.
Something has raised well
over $50,000 throughout the years
for various organizations local
and global, Riely said. These
students are the backbone and
the heart and soul of our school.
They represent the embodiment
of being a global citizen.
When I found out that JW had
a community service club, I immediately knew that I wanted to
be a part of it. I love taking part
in things like the Do Something
Club because of who we help
every day. The feeling of doing
something to make a better community is an amazing opportuni-

Thanks to Bermans vision, the
librarys second floor will boast a
quiet reading room, nine co-working spaces, a resource hub and
areas dedicated to technology.
In this plan, we were trying to
make a number of different types
of spaces where people can come
together and learn in various
sizes, Berman told council.
The quiet reading room will
give PPL the opportunity to create a zone for people without technology or without conversation.
The co-working rooms are
spaces that can be used for small
meetings, tutoring, study sessions and a host of other experiences.
The resource hub, in lieu of a
reference desk, will be the core of
the librarys second floor reconstruction a place where the public and the staff of the library can
come together and access the opportunities PPL has to offer.
Books will still be the primary
visual of the library, Berman
said.
While many libraries have
turned to stacks and compact
shelving, PPL will put its remaining print collection on full-display, turned out and well lit for
the public to see.
Until this time comes, PPL still
