Welcome Autumn and hello from the Friends of Hopewell Public Library. The Friends of Hopewell Public Library is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to support and strengthen our local library. Our annual appeal is currently underway. Last year’s generous donations enabled us to provide the following:
- 2 new computers, 3 bar code scanners, 15,000 labels and 2 high-speed FIOS lines to support our library automation
- 545 books including large print books and updated economics and nature sections
- Subscription to 45 periodicals including New Jersey Monthly, Organic Gardening, Bicycling, Martha Stewart’s Living, Poetry, Scientific American, Saveur, Business Week, People, Time and the daily New York Times
- 20 new DVDs, 40 new CDs, audio books and music
- Sponsorships of adult evening seminars including HiTops programs
- Programs for toddlers, preschoolers and elementary school children
- Summer reading incentive program including the end-of-year community party and 40 gift certificates awarded to children who completed the program
- All of the delicious refreshments offered at library events
The work of the Friends is essential to the success of the library. As we have committed our time and energy to the automation effort, there will be no other Friends fundraiser this year. One hundred percent of your contribution goes toward our work for the library. Please send your tax-deductible donation to:
