The David Linden House
In memory of David Linden, his family has donated the funds to build a learning experience for the children of Upper Saddle River. This wonderful new playhouse will give our young children many years of enjoyment. A place to read or be read to, a place to play, a place to pretend. No Adults please, unless of course you can get in the door. Thank you to the Linden family for this wonderful addition to the Library’s children’s area. Enjoying the playhouse are, left to right, Michael Florio, Matthew Florio, Victor, and Mary Florio. |
