Yesterday’s Only in Monmouth: Spring Lake Community House was designed to bring a library, theater, and meeting rooms together under one roof, with land and construction funding pledged by Mayor Oliver H. Brown. When the library moved into the building in June 1923, its books traveled from the old municipal building by borrowed pushcart. The Spring Lake Theatre and library remain inside the Community House today.

Water Alone Won't Hydrate You This Fall
Cooler air, indoor heating, and shorter days can leave you dehydrated even when you're drinking plenty of water. That's because true hydration depends on electrolytes, not just water.
Pique's Deep Hydration Protocol pairs two formulas for round-the-clock hydration. B·T Fountain is a beauty electrolyte with clinically studied ceramides and hyaluronic acid, taken each morning for cellular hydration and steady energy. R·E Fountain follows at night — a calming magnesium blend built on Pique's proprietary Triple Biomaxed™ Magnesium for restful sleep.
Customers on this protocol report falling asleep faster, waking up without that groggy, dehydrated feeling, and noticing healthier-looking skin. This protocol sells out every fall — once it's gone, it's gone until next year.
Get 20% off for life right now, backed by Pique's 90-day guarantee. Shop the Deep Hydration Protocol before it sells out.
