We are Hiring!

The Library is hiring a part-time custodial worker for 6 hours/week to start in 2026. See the link below for more details.

Coffee for a Cause

Purchase delicious coffee from Greene’s Beans and help support your local library. A percentage of all sales will be donated to the Friends of the Hackettstown Library to be used towards new flooring on the library’s ground floor. Coffee (or tea or hot cocoa) makes a great gift and an even better treat for yourself so enjoy a cup and help your favorite library. Greene’s Beans will ship the coffee domestically and you can even gift a bag to the Friends to sell later.
