Safety first!

It took some time, and patience, but finally in cooperation with the Library, Dover DPW, and NJ DOT,  we are happy to announce the installation of a new crosswalk on East Clinton Street, between the Library and JFK Park.  School is starting, please be sure to slow down, and watch out for our children.

¡Seguridad ante todo!

Tomó algo de tiempo y paciencia, pero finalmente, en cooperación con la Biblioteca, Dover DPW y NJ DOT, nos complace anunciar la instalación de un nuevo cruce de peatones en East Clinton Street, entre la Biblioteca y el Parque JFK.  La escuela está comenzando, asegúrese de reducir la velocidad y tenga cuidado con nuestros niños.
