Funding The Next Chapter
This year, Metuchen is celebrating 125 years of history, community, and progress. In honor of this milestone, the Friends of the Metuchen Library are launching an ambitious campaign to donate $125,000 to support a reimagining of the Metuchen Public Library.
The library is the heart of Metuchen, a welcoming environment where children become readers, teens find their voice, adults gather, and curiosity flourishes. Today, we have a unique opportunity to build on that legacy by transforming the library into a more modern and adaptable space that meets the needs of a 21st-century community.
This campaign will fund the transformation of the children's room, expansion of teen space, addition of meeting space, and a redesign of the Makerspace. These enhancements will ensure the library remains an inspiring, flexible, and accessible resource for all.
Let us ensure that our library, this cornerstone of the Metuchen community, continues to thrive for generations to come. As we honor our town's past, we hope you will join us in investing in our library's future.
Contributions can be made online via the GiveButter platform or via check, made payable to Friends of the Metuchen Library, dropped off or mailed to the library (480 Middlesex Avenue, Metuchen NJ, 08840)
