Community Knits Donations

Locally, there is a current need for warm clothing items, specifically adult hats, mittens and twin-bed-size blankets. 

Purchased items and/or handmade items are being collected at the library.

Many hands make light work and together we can make a difference. For the past three years our library patrons have been very generous with their time and talent, so let's do it again!

Use your knitting skills to warm community members who could use something special. Your donations will be distributed by the Newark-Wayne Community Hospital to the residents of 1 South.

Email Notifications

There are benefits to providing our library system with your email. Of course we would never, ever share it. Patrons receive email notifications when  materials they've place holds on become available for pick up and - my family favorite - reminders when checked-out materials will soon be due.

FYI...

Beginning this fall, our system will begin sending emails to our patrons, notifying them when their library card will expire, which happens once a year.  The message will read:

Our records indicate your library card is due to expire in 30 days. Please visit your local library at your convenience to renew your card in order to avoid a disruption in access to library service.

To avoid disruption of the convenient library services you enjoy from home using the OPAC, please be sure we have your current email address. Login in to view your account.
