The Ocean County Library presents a program about a remarkable New Jersey locale that presaged civil rights 50 years after the Revolutionary War. “Timbuctoo: New Jersey’s Free Black Community before the Civil War” will be presented in the Bishop Building of the Toms River branch on Wednesday, March 19 at 3:30 p.m.
