What We Believe
Libraries strengthen and enrich communities by providing every person equal and open access to information and technology.  A great library is essential to a vibrant and strong community.  The Friends of the Glen Ridge Library values integrity, creativity, inclusiveness, and innovation in our activities, responsible stewardship of our resources, and are a committed partner with the Glen Ridge Public Library.

  • We fund diverse programs, resources, and services beyond those supported by your tax dollars, thereby enriching and enhancing our public library and the community of Glen Ridge. 
  • ​​We nurture and engage a community of library advocates and supporters through fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, community partnerships, outreach events, and countless library programs. 
  • We provide the community with continuing opportunities to invest in the success of the Glen Ridge Public Library. 
  • ​We educate and encourage the community to take advantage of all the enriching, amazing, and free resources and services our library offers.
