Lambertville Library at The Hatch Festival!
While we were closed, we were all still busy! Our own Trina and Fran were participants at The Hatch Festival at the ArtYard, in Frenchtown.
See you in the stacks!

Pop in to the Pop-up
We have an excellent City Hall. When they knew we were looking for a place to have a pop-up library, they jumped right in and offered two spaces. One is downtown at the Justice Center for kid programs and other activities. I heard that the Mah Jong group is going strong, but I have yet to stop by. But the other space is right here at City Hall. It’s a lovely, open space, which we promptly filled. See you in the stacks! /Annie
It’s happening!
Would you just look at this! It’s happening! It has begun! This is really exciting news for not only the library, but for the whole community. This grand old building has withstood a lot of wear and tear over the decades, and now the time has come for some much-needed repairs. Brick pointing, roof leaks, and other external repairs are all being taken care of. It’s exciting! See you in the stacks! /Annie
Big Changes at the Library!
With so much thanks to an army of volunteers, staff, and board members, the library was packed up and ready for renovations in an amazingly short time. With breathtaking speed, volunteers came in and packed up the books according to a system that will let us locate any book and the shelf where it belongs after we come back. Honestly, I am so impressed with it all. We are truly blessed to have so many amazing and capable and generous friends here. See you in the stacks! /Annie
Happy Birthday to our Founder, Samuel Stryker!
Today is Samuel Stryker’s 235 birthday! He is our founder! Without Sam, Lambertville might not have had a library as soon as it did. -See you in the stacks /Annie
