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.
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. Read the article in The Record (5-16-15)
