The Library Board of Trustees will meet on Dec. 16 at 8 a.m. in the NJ Library Room at the library. The public is welcome to attend.
The Library Board of Trustees is giving an update on the renovation of the library. Bids for the Library Addition/ Renovation project were rejected by the Borough Commissioners in early November as all submitted bids were over budget. It is anticipated that the project will be put back out to bid in early December. The Library Board and Borough Commissioners are committed to finding an alternate site for library service during the estimated seven months that the library will be closed for renovation. An active search is underway for a convenient location in Haddonfield. The community will receive updates as information on the project and timeline are available.
HOOPLA comes to the Library!
HOOPLA is now available at the Haddonfield Public Library! HOOPLA, well-deserving of its exciting name, is a digital media platform offering thousands of full-length music albums, audiobooks, films, TV shows and instructional videos for kids, teens and adults. Haddonfield Library cardholders will be able to borrow these titles to enjoy on PCs, tablets and phones. Both streaming and temporary downloading of content are supported. Multiple borrowers can access the same title at the same time so no more waiting for popular titles. Better yet, access to these titles is free of charge. Since borrowed titles are automatically returned at the end of their loan periods, HOOPLA titles are fine free. This media platform is perfectly suited to life on the go! View or listen to music, audiobooks and films across your mobile devices, and the HOOPLA mobile app will keep your place as you go. Don’t miss out on all the fun; make sure you have your library card number and associated library password ready for the HOOPLA.
