OUR LAST EVENT
Fortunately the weather was great and we got a warm welcome from the Hackensack Riverkeeper's crew as we joined about 30 people on July 20 for the annual Staib Park/Coles Brook clean up. There was less trash than last year, so we are making a difference!

FUNDING FOR LIBRARY PROGRAMS
Your membership and participation in the Friends, and in our events, helps us raise money to support Library programs. Over the past few years, the Friends have donated over $20,000 to the Library. Library programs we are funding in 2025 include all of the Museum Passes offered by the Library this year, the NJ Makers Day program, the Drag Queen Story Hour in the Childrens Department, and the Annual Haunted Library.
