DISPLAYS Edison Main Library During August, Darcy Dzuban, award-winning artist and Edison resident who attends Middlesex County College, will display her paintings at the Main Library. North Edison Branch The North Edison library has on display an absolutely beautiful quilt dedicated to children afflicted with a giant congenital nevus. It was put together by the parents of these children. Each parent contributed a quilt square in honor of or in memory of his or her child. A giant congenital nevus is a mole that is over 8” in diameter. Giant congenital nevi occur in about 1 in 20,000 births. They vary in size and shape and can cover any area of the body. Unlike some birthmarks, nevi will not disappear as the child grows older. The cause of this malady is unknown. The cells that form these large moles on the skin can also appear in the brain and spinal cord and cause neurological problems or even death. This quilt is traveling to help make the public aware of this birth defect and also to find a cure. You can find out more about giant congenital nevi by contacting Nevus Outreach, Inc. at http://www.nevus.org . PROGRAMS To register for programs at the Main Library please call (732) 287-2298 x1.
