Livingston Library
Community,
The Friends of the
Livingston Public Library are about to reach a major milestone! March
14, 2025 marks the 65th anniversary of the incorporation of the
Friends of the Library. To celebrate this momentous date, the Friends
of the Library is running a special $65 for 65 fundraiser.
Now through March
31st, anyone who donates $65 or more to the Friends of the Library
will receive special recognition from the Friends through a letter of
acknowledgment and appreciation from the Friends and recognition on
the library’s in-house displays in the lobby and through the
Library’s website from April 1st through May 31st. Donation forms can
be found on the 65 for 65 page and
in person at the Library.
The Friends of the
Library support the library's diverse program offerings and services
not covered by the Township’s budget. You can learn more about how
the Friends support the Library on the Library’s website
