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

Dennis’ book Dope Thief has been recently made into a TV series by AppleTV. Check out the book at the library and watch for a local author event coming soon!

“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
The Best Sale in Town!
The Lambertville library has a lot of treasures. A lot of them. Rare books, the art book collection, the gallery space upstairs…so many, too many for just one blog post. This picture is of two of the treasures we have here! This is Franta, custodian and curator of the book sale. She is a treasure! See you in the stacks! /Annie
