The Hackettstown Free Public Library enriches the lives of all members of our community by providing opportunities for learning and entertainment, cultural enrichment, access to information and the preservation of knowledge for future generations.
Originally started in 2014, New Jersey Makers Day inspires and activates libraries to showcase and highlight STEM and maker culture, enhancing life-long learning. We are hosting a number of events this year, including an all-ages egg drop contest, marble mazes, and leprechaun traps.
Pre-order a wax-dipped amaryllis for Mother’s Day! Cut flowers will wilt within days, but a wax-dipped amaryllis can bloom again and again. No water or soil needed – place on a windowsill and watch it bloom for months!
Pre-order ends on April 20th, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EST.
This fundraiser is brought to you by the Friends of the Hackettstown Library in collaboration with Ednie Flower Bulbs, LLC. All proceeds go to the Friends of the Hackettstown Library.
Have you ever wondered… What does it feel like to ride the runners behind a team of dogs, steering a loaded sled through mountainous terrain, crossing the vast Alaskan tundra, hugging the shoreline of the great Bering Sea?
What does it take to care for a team of Alaskan huskies? Could my dog be a sled dog, too?
Musher, Karen Land, will cover these subjects and more when she and Sophia, the Alaskan husky, visit the Hackettstown Free Public Library.
