Trenton was the first place outside of Philadelphia to publicly proclaim the Declaration of Independence on July 8, 1776. Join us on July 8, 2026 to celebrate the words which gave birth to our nation. Two readings of the Declaration – one at noon and another at 6 pm – will be held at 23 South Warren Street in Trenton, the same place as the original proclamation in 1776. Following the noon program, HistoryFest 250 will feature exhibits from area historic sites and performances by the Garden State Storytellers in “The Corner Historic” building – site of George Washington’s reception in 1789.
The 6 pm reading is part of “Sharing the Spirit of America,” in which Americans in all 50 states, 5 territories and 19 other nations will also be publicly reading the Declaration at the same time. After the 6 pm reading, the 55 musicians of the Blawenburg Band will perform a free concert “Listening to the Revolution, 250 Years of American Music.”
All programs are free and open to the public as part of Heritage Week, sponsored by the City of Trenton and the Kiwanis Club of Trenton. For details, visit https://www.trentonnj.org/832/Trenton-Heritage-Week

BookSmiles is expanding to serve more children. The Kiwanis Club of Ewing is supporting them by running a book drive at RedBerryTCNJ.

Message from Larry:

Yes, I could write a million words about this pic. Signing a ten-year lease, so that BookSmiles can move into a 14,000 square foot forever-home headquarters in Cherry Hill is one of the highpoints of my "retired life" from teaching. Good to have Colliers Philadelphia Tri-State Region realtors Ian Richman and Ross Abramsohn flanking me.

We will eventually intake, process, and distribute 4 to 5,000,000 children's books from this location each year. And we will accept millions more used grown-up books because we trade them by the ton for quality kids books. Every child in Philadelphia and New Jersey will be able to access a beautiful library in their very own home.

Facebook friends, stay tuned to learn about our Expansion Campaign which will give you the chance to help financially! Or I won't say no if you want to donate $10 per month or whatever you want. It will take a village. https://www.booksmiles.org/donate.html

It is spring time and if you are planning to clean out your personal library to make room for more books, please donate them to BookSmiles. The Kiwanis Club of Ewing are collecting donated books for BookSmiles at RedBerryTCNJ. We are looking primarily for childrens books (through High School) and we will take grown-up books which BookSmiles uses to trade and sell to help offset the cost of the operation. Thanks to all who have donated in the past and special thanks to RedBerryTCNJ who have allowed us to place our BookSmiles bin in the store.
