Friends of the Hackettstown Library Spring Book Sale Donations

The Friends of the Hackettstown Library are back and hosting their annual Spring Book Sale.

Donations begin 4/1.

Please make sure all donations are in good shape (no water staining, mold, or rips) and we do not accept textbooks, nonfiction titles over 5 years old, or magazines.

Mother’s Day Flower Sale

Gift an amaryllis to someone special!

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.

Roots & Rivers Presents Plant Swap

Welcome the warm, spring weather with a plant swap, presented by Roots & Rivers.

The concept is simple: bring a potted plant or seedling you want to share with another member of the community. You will get one in exchange to grow your living collection! Exchange as many or as few times as you like but please do not bring more plants than you intend on swapping. We have no room to keep them!

This program is suitable for all ages and gardening levels. No registration required!
