Wednesday, May 8, 2024

Hi Hoboken!

This month, we’re honoring Asian American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month with events highlighting the cultural heritage of our communities. From Cooking with Ms. Nicole to KPop Dance Workshop for Teens and Adults, we welcome you to join us for these events and all our other events. There’s something fun and exciting for all ages.

The #HudsonGives campaign also kicks off this month! We're calling on our community to support the Hoboken Public Library Friends and Foundation. Your contributions are vital to sustaining the programs and services that make our library a vibrant hub for learning and exploration.

Finally, I'm honored to share our library has made the cover of Library Journal's Movers & Shakers awards, a national recognition of the work we're doing in Hoboken and beyond. Click here to read more about how we're shaping the future.
