Our Community Comes Together! Hurricane Ida Resources & Information

A big thank you to all of our first responders, volunteers, partner organizations and community members who are making great strides during this time of need. We are honored to be a hub of excellent citizenship and even received a visit from Governor Phil Murphy, who came to survey the damage around town. He concurred that “libraries rock” upon greeting our director, Jennifer Sirak, commenting on her t-shirt in a moment of levity surrounded by our leadership and a swarm of press.
The best place to gather information and find a host of resources is the City of Lambertville website. If you are not subscribed already, make sure you sign up for their updates via phone or email.

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

“Cook What you Have”

It’s no secret that I love cookbooks. I probably love them more than I love cooking, but cooking is a close second. Here at the library, we try to provide a broad base of cookbooks, from classics, to regional, and sometimes the downright unusual. But sometimes a cookbook comes along that is a real standout. And we have a new one, just in. Christopher Kimball’s “Cook What you Have.” See you in the stacks /Annie
