The Friends of the Cedar Grove Public Library recently hosted a Family Fun Night for the community. The event, which featured a winter craft, storytime, snacks, and games with local board game host Traveling Boards, promoted the organization’s #GivingTuesday initiative.

The nonprofit received 501c3 status in 2023. Donations are tax deductible and make a significant impact toward programming and resources not covered by the library budget. In its first year, the Friends purchased a Wi-Fi extender to boost coverage in the library, and made contributions to the Children’s Section and Summer Reading Program.

Family Fun Night collected nonperishable food donations, which were donated to St. Agnes’ Food Pantry in Little Falls.

Friends meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month. All are welcome to attend. Contact friendsofcgpl@gmail.com, follow on Facebook at friendsofcgpl, or visit https://GiveButter.com/fcgpl.
