This holiday season, there’s a simple way to bring joy to children and teens in need throughout Ocean County. Be a part of the Ocean County Library’s Sparks B.F.F. Reading Club Fall Toiletries Drive, which will run through Saturday, Nov. 30.

For the Southern Ocean County area, the Lacey branch serves as a donation drop-off point. The branch is located at 10 East Lacey Rd. in Forked River.
