Information Regarding Temporary Closure of the Lambertville Free Public Library – Starting March 31st
The Lambertville Free Public Library is thrilled to announce that long-awaited renovations are scheduled to begin this spring. The library, located in the historic Lilly Mansion at 6 Lilly Street, will be temporarily closed from March 31, 2025, until early June. We plan to provide limited library services, resources, and programming throughout the closure in order to minimize the inconvenience to the community. We are excited to invite you back for the library’s reopening and yearlong 100th anniversary celebration beginning in June 2025!
Here’s What’s Happening:
- A pop-up library will be located at Lambertville City Hall (18 York Street) starting Friday, April 4. Hours to be determined.
- A limited selection of books and magazines will be available for check out.
- As always, e-books and audiobooks will be available through the Hoopla and CloudLibrary apps. Library staff will be happy to help you set up accounts!
- We will have at least one computer available for public use, as well as a printer and copier (small jobs only).
- Bouncy Book Time and Mah Jongg will take place at the ACME Screening Room (25 S. Union Street). Please contact library staff for more information.
- Regular updates will be posted here on the library’s website and communicated through the library’s regular e-newsletter, Lambertville Matters, and social media outlets.
Want to help? Join us the week of March 24 to check out as many books as you like! This will help lighten our load as we pack up the library to prepare for new carpets. Plus, any book returns will increase the selection at the pop-up library. If you’d like to volunteer to pack books, email us at staff@lambertvillelibrary.org.
For more information, please call the library at 609-397-0275 or email staff@lambertvillelibrary.org.

Congratulations to Local Author Dennis Tafoya!

Gallery Exhibit: 20/20 : A series by Charlie Ringer
This series is inspired by a commission request in 2024. A friend asked for a piece of art that had an eye as the central focus. Having made previous iterations of this concept, Charlie was able to pull from past work to create a new watercolor series focused on the eye as a subject. With bold, shimmering colors and strong lines, this series is a fun play on shapes and colors to create form.
