The center is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Corrugated cardboard is identified by the arched layer, or fluting, between smooth liner sheets.

Carving exhibit opens
The woodcarvings of Waldwick resident Jeff Seise (pictured above) will be on display at the Waldwick Library now through Monday, Aug. 31. The 25 pieces in the lobby display case range in subject matter from wild fowl to the human form. One of the more intricate carvings, ‘Prayer before Battle,’ features a Native American wearing a headdress with 52 individually carved feathers. The statue is mounted on a beautiful block of wood, which was part of a barn in Maine. A resident of Waldwick since 1972, Seise recently retired after 39 years of teaching music and computers for the Park Ridge Public Schools. He continues to work as a piano technician and is a registered craftsman in the Piano Technicians Guild. Seise took up the hobby of woodcarving at the Waldwick-Midland Park Adult School in the early ‘70s and completed his first piece, a ‘deco duck,’ in 1978. He is a member of the National Woodcarvers Association and the New Jersey Chapter of the National Woodcarvers Association. The library is located at 19 East Prospect Street in Waldwick. Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call (201) 652-5104.
