2021 Annual Fundraising Appeal
Your support has shaped the award-winning Montclair Public Library into one of the greatest assets of our community. Before the pandemic, the Library averaged 51 visitors for each hour it was open. And during lockdown demand for library cards skyrocketed so that people could access the e-books, music, virtual programs, and other online resources the Library continued to provide. It’s clear that the Montclair Public Library is a beloved and vital resource, and yet municipal funding has been dramatically cut in recent years. Your generosity is critical, now more than ever, to ensure that programs like Adult School classes, the Open Book / Open Mind series, and robust children’s programming can continue. Won’t you make your gift today?
