The Friends organization, created in September 2002, is a nonprofit and charitable 501(c)3 corporation. Our mission is dedication to lending support to the Board of Trustees of the library and their ongoing endeavors to provide high quality library services and materials to the community. We have underwritten many programs and activities that are outside of the normal, day to day budget of the Hackettstown Free Public Library.

The Friends’ Holiday Mini-Bazaar was productive, enjoyable, and brought in a profit of $647.00.

Handcrafted items included small hand sewn coupon holders/change purses all made in bright holiday fabrics. Our white elephant table offered a vintage jewelry collection, lots of holiday decorations, many candles, a silver hotplate in the design of a reindeer, embroidered items framed, and a few holiday cookbooks.
