Library Update!  The new library is almost complete.  We have moved out of our temporary location and the staff is now preparing the space in our new building at 30 Park Place West.  All of the books and materials are at our new location.  Most of the furniture is here and assembled.  The remaining pieces are coming next week. The phones, internet, and wi-fi are up and working!  Computers are being set up and readied for your use. By next Friday we should have our Certificate of Occupancy.  After that we can open the doors! 
 
Until then we will offer limited library service in our parking lot.  Beginning Monday, November 7, the bookdrop will be open for returns, and holds and requests will be delivered curbside.  Just call the library at 609-722-6992 to request service.  We will also have Mobile Health Clinic on November 10.  Read below for more information about programs and hours of service.
 
Plan to attend Grand Opening celebration on Saturday, November 19!  We can’t wait to see everyone in our new space.
