Library Spotlight

We’re Going (Mostly) Fine Free!

Thanks to a generous donation from Tom Schiano at Mama’s and Cafe Baci we are eliminating fines on most items in our collection, starting November 1. This comes after we eliminated fines on children’s items after a donation from Man Skirt Brewing in June.

Go grab some delicious food and thank Tom at Mama’s for his service to the community!

Accepting Donations On 11/21

The Friends of the Library Holiday Mini-Bazaar is approaching and we will begin to take donations for the sale starting on November 21.

We are accepting handcrafted items, baked goods, and gently-used items!

The sale will be taking place December 10-12.

It’s officially cozy season, and @friendsofhackettstownlibrary are celebrating in the sweetest (and coziest!) way! ☕🍂

In partnership with @greenesbeans.cafe, we’ll be selling their special “Friend Blend” coffee, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to support our beloved library and help fund its much-needed new flooring!

So grab a bag and enjoy this cozy-season while supporting your local library.  #hackettstown #library #coffeeforacause #support
