About Library Renovations

The Watchung Library has been serving the community for over 60 years. It has provided a warm and safe place for programs to enrich our community. However, the current facility fails to meet State building codes in many areas.

The borough has worked out a plan to rehabilitate the library. Additional information can be found under the Library Renovations page.
