This is happening this Saturday!

Come support a great cause and consider a donation to the library to help fund future projects. Electronic recycling makes great sense. Let's keep the world clean and have some fun doing it while we free up some extra space in our daily lives.

Somerset County Library is undergoing another phase of renovations. Most of their summer programs will take place at the Somerset County Technology Center - SCTC

📌 Renovation Activities Have Started! 📌
Renovation preparations are officially underway! Packing, storage, and/or relocation of collections and furniture from Room 26 and the Library has begun.
🗓 Beginning May 6 and continuing through August, contractors will be working in the Library and Room 26. In early May, you may notice temporary walls and protective barriers being installed inside the library to support the work.
📚 Library Access During Renovations
We plan to keep the library open in some capacity throughout the project. Please note:

Seating and table availability will be limited
Some services and access to collections may be temporarily affected

🚧 Safety Reminder
For everyone’s safety, please stay clear of all work in progress and do not enter construction areas for any reason.
ℹ️ We’ll continue to share updates here on Facebook and Instagram as the project moves forward. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
