Erial Night at the Library
Erial Elementary School students, parents and teachers filled the township library for a special night on Wednesday.
It was all Erial at the Gloucester Township-Blackwood Rotary Public Library Wednesday night.
Well, they did let a few others in the building, but no one would have noticed with a total of 180 Erial Elementary School students attending one of two hour-and-a-half sessions intended to introduce the youngsters to the library and all the resources offered there.
The students to attend "Erial Night at the Library" Wednesday night were in kindergarten through second grade.
