Travelers, both of the armchair variety and the off-to-exotic-ports-type, can pick up tips and travel trends this month at the library.

Non-gardeners can enjoy New Jersey-grown veggies at a farm market, while photographers, or those struggling with digital downloads, can learn how to produce a photo album to be proud of.

Kids have a variety of activities to keep them both entertained and school-ready.

For those who are looking for a good excuse just to stay home and enjoy a good book, we suggest:

1. “101 Places Not to See Before You Die” by Catherine Price.

2. “Me, Myself & Prague: An Unreliable Guide to Bohemia” by Rachael Weiss.

3. “Holidays in Heck” by P.J. O’Rourke.

4. “The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook (Travel Disc)” by Joshua Piven.

5. “Flying High with A. Frank Steward: More Air Travel Tips and Tales from the Flight Crew” by A. Frank Steward.
