Fundraising campaign in full swing

Our Interior Makeover Project fundraising campaign is in full swing. The awesome mailer that we worked on over the summer has been sent to every home and business in River Edge and the response has been terrific.

We are receiving donations every day along with messages of support for the goals we are aiming to achieve, a newly designed interior that meets the expressed needs of the community.

In a major boost to the prestige we enjoy our excellent, devoted Youth Services Laura Grunwerg received a major award in recognition of her outstanding service to the community. The "I Love My Librarian Award" is sponsored by the New York Times and the Carnegie Foundation of New York. Laura is one of 10 winners nationwide out of 3,600 applications. A number of River Edge library patrons nominated her for the award. They gave her high praise for her hard work and innovative approach to delivering excellent library service to the community. I am so proud of her achievement! I think the whole community should be proud to be served by Laura.
