​Great news for Friends of the Watchung Library: Last month, in an historic meeting, the Watchung Borough Council approved a bond ordinance for capital improvements including a major renovation of the Watchung Library.
Reinforcing the bridge from the Best Lake parking lot to the back of the library will start soon so that construction vehicles can get access to the building. Library staff are already planning the move to what will be our temporary location at 20 Stirling Road (the Valley Furniture building).
What an exciting time this is!
You can find more information about the planned renovation here:
