Please join us in wishing Shelly Mastriana the very best as she leaves our staff after nearly two years as Junior Library Assistant. Ms. Shelly has brought so much experience, knowledge and enthusiasm to our library community. We will miss her tremendously, but are comforted by her promise to visit us from time to time.

Happy holidays to all of our library friends and families!


And happy anniversary to us! The Freehold Public Library officially opened for business on December 10, 1904.
