And not the quiet one either.
Oradell Free Public Library needs patrons to
speak up and speak out to support increased library funding.
Please join us in opposing significant service hour reductions and requesting funding to restore previously cut service hours and acquisition budgets.

Here's how you can help:

Sign the Change.org petition sponsored by the Steering Committee of the Friends of the Oradell Library 
(Instructions: Fill our your name and contact information where it indicates, leave a message if you wish, and click the red "SIGN" button to virtually sign the petition.)



We thank the Mayor and Council for listening and agreeing to restore some funding to the Library.  We hope to return to our old hours on Monday, June 1, 2015.

Write to Oradell's Mayor and Council, the Town News, or The Record to express your opinions.  Click here for contact information.

The Borough of Oradell has kept the appropriation of funds to the Library at a flat rate since 2012.  In order to work within the budget, the Library Board of Trustees must decrease the Library’s service hours from fifty-four (54) to forty-four (44) per week according to this schedule beginning on Friday, May 1, 2015:

Monday  -  11 a. m. – 9 p. m.   (Junior Room 11 a. m. - 7 p. m.)
Tuesday  -  11 a. m. – 9 p. m.  
(Junior Room 11 a. m. - 7 p. m.)
Wednesday  -  11 a. m. – 9 p. m.  
(Junior Room 11 a. m. - 7 p. m.)
Thursday  -  CLOSED
Friday  -  10 a. m. – 5 p. m.
Saturday - 10 a. m. – 5 p. m.
