The Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City celebrates the first day of summer during its pajama party in the park, at Bayview Park in Brant Beach on Wednesday, June 21 at 7 p.m.

Youngsters will gather around children’s librarian Summer Gahles for an all-ages story time, and create a crafted item as a keepsake of the outdoor fun. PJs are encouraged but not required.
