TOURISM INFO RIGHT AT YOUR LIBRARY OCEAN COUNTY - Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari shows Ocean County Principal Librarian Carol Zsiga, of Barnegat, a few of the publications from a resource tourism packet he has asked the headquarters to distribute to library branches around the county, as Ocean County Library Director Elaine McConnell, at left, looks on. Vicari said, "Many folks use the Internet to learn about things to see and do in Ocean County, but there are still those who like to do it the old-fashioned way - reading brochures and magazines they can touch. The information is very accessible because there are 20 branches around the county, including resort areas, and many are open nontraditional hours." The packet contains dozens of brochures and magazines containing information on attractions and calendars of events from municipalities, business associations and tourism venues.
