𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥! We are excited to announce that the Ridgewood Public Library Foundation and Friends of the Ridgewood Public Library have come together as one unified organization: The Friends Foundation of the Ridgewood Public Library .

The decision to combine comes after careful consideration by both boards, with the goal of creating a stronger, more efficient organization. We will continue our efforts to supplement the library's public funding with renewed energy, unified purpose, and a strengthened ability to advocate for and support the library, ensuring the library’s vibrance as a community center today and for generations to come.

This development marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter of impact and growth in service of the Ridgewood Public Library and the community.
