The Friends of the Cedar Grove Public Library recently launched its “Pave the Way” brick fundraiser, dedicated to supporting the renovation of the Children’s Library. Personalized, engraved bricks will be placed on either side of the Library’s outdoor walkway, creating a welcoming entrance to the facility.

“In a town like Cedar Grove, where community matters, we are grateful for the support behind the ‘Pave the Way’ initiative,” said Denise Bailey, President, Friends of the Cedar Grove Public Library. “The Children’s Library is enjoyed by countless young residents each day, and the generosity of our donors ensures it will continue to inspire learning and imagination for generations to come.”

In November, the Township celebrated a Grand Reopening of the Library, highlighting new flooring, updated furniture, and relocated stacks in the main Library area. The “Pave the Way” fundraiser builds on that momentum by focusing on the Children’s Library, with the goal of creating a refreshed, functional, and engaging educational space.

Bricks can be ordered at https://donate.brickmarkers.com/cgp or via an order form at the Library desk. Business sponsorships are also available.

The Friends extend their appreciation to current business sponsors: Smitty’s Landscaping, The Learning Experience, Metric Plumbing & Heating, and Hal Wheeler’s School for Dogs.
