The Godfather’s Daughter - Saturday, September 19,
1 p.m.
On the surface, Rita Gigante’s family looked like all the
other families in her suburban New Jersey neighborhood.
But behind closed doors, they had a secret – her father, a
notorious crime boss named Vincent “the chin” Gigante, was the
leader of the Genovese crime clan and the head of all five New
York crime families.
Meet Rita Gigante, learn about her childhood and the book she
wrote, “The Godfather’s Daughter”. Rita will take us on her emotional and spiritual journey growing up on the fringes of the underworld. Patrons will have the opportunity to purchase the book and
have it signed at this event. Registration is requested. To register,
call the library at 973-584-2400 ext. 501 or e-mail comments@roxburylibrary.org.
Black Gold for Your Garden - Composting
Simplified - Thursday, Sept. 24, 6:30 p.m.
Everyone has kitchen scraps, clippings from house and garden
plants, leaves and brush available for recycling. Why not take
some time and a little effort to turn these resources into compost? Gardeners call compost “black gold”. Adding just a half
inch layer of compost to your soil is a perfect way to grow better
flowers and vegetables. The topic of vermicompost (worm culture) will also be covered. Join Rutgers Master Gardener WingYee Pavlosky and learn how by mixing larger quantities of “black
gold” into your soil before planting your fruits and vegetables you
will ensure a beautiful garden and a bountiful harvest. Registration
is requested. To register, call the library at 973-584-2400 ext. 501
or e-mail comments@roxburylibrary.org.
