While the Library is closed until further notice because of the safety measures in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Friends of the Library are postponing their spring mailing.
Once the membership request mailing goes out, we ask that you be as generous as possible in supporting the Friends as they and Oradell Public Library continue to serve the community. We will need your help more than ever. As always, the Friends of the Library thank you for your support and encouragement. Library Closed
Coronavirus (COVID-19) The health of our patrons and staff is our highest concern. We are closely monitoring COVID-19 and the response by the Borough of Oradell, other libraries, and state organizations in order to provide the best service and care. Out of caution, Oradell Public Library will be following suit with numerous BCCLS libraries and closing the Library until further notice, at least until the end of March 2020. Please check our website frequently as this situation is developing.
The Information Services Librarian will gladly provide reference services by email: linda.pabian@oradell.bccls.org. New Policy: Please DO NOT return materials to the Library's book drop.
