West Caldwell Public Library
WCPL News & Events
January 2021
The West Caldwell Public Library is open for walk ins!

The library is now opened to the public! Patrons are free to come into the building with a few guidelines to keep in mind. We are allowing 30 minutes visits, no computer access, remote printing, and still offering curbside pickup.

We are no longer participating in the Essex County Reciprocal Borrowing Program (ReBL).
If you work, own property, or tenants in West Caldwell, you can borrow material from WCPL!
