Food for Fines Week A Success!

With the help of our library patrons during Food for Fines week October 11 - 18 (and the help of the Gates Avenue Knitters, who collected food and dropped it off at the library), we were able to donate 262 pounds of food to the Interfaith Food Pantry in Morristown.

As Rosemary Gilmartin, Executive Director of the food pantry, wrote: "Together we provide a significant impact on the lives of our many neighbors who live constantly with the worry of not having enough food for their families. Neighbors helping neighbors is a wonderful concept that has come to life through your caring and generous donation!"

Thank you to everyone who contributed!
