– a safety program for children from the NYPD;
– free health care information provided by Wyckoff Heights Medical Center;
– information tables hosted by Rep. Nydia Velázquez and City Council Member Diana Reyna on city and federal government programs available to Ridgewood residents;

– face painting for children;
– free library card registration by the Queens Borough Public Library; and
– hot dogs, cupcakes, soda and water at very low prices.
“On Sept. 29, there will be many activities for all age groups at the Ridgewood library,” said Friends President Thomas Dowd. “We hope you can stop by and support our Friends’ work. All proceeds will be used to purchase new books for the children, youth and adult libraries at the newly renovated Ridgewood library.”
The Ridgewood library is located at 2012 Madison St., between Forest and Fairview avenues. In the event of inclement weather, the Fun Day at the Ridgewood Library will take place the following Saturday, Oct. 6.
