The Library will be holding a book sale on Saturday, October 26 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm. Stop by to check out the deals and pick up a book or two! All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Boonton Holmes Public Library.

The Boonton Holmes Public Library will be recognized by the County Freeholders at their October 23 meeting!

The Freeholders have assisted the Town of Boonton preserve the Boonton Holmes Public Library through a series of historic preservation grants totaling approximately $636,800. The first phase of grant funding allowed for the porch stabilization project. The second phase will include interior work on the floor and support structures. At the October meeting the Freeholders will be presenting a plaque which will be permanently displayed at the library. The meeting will begin at 8pm and will be held at Boonton Town Hall.

Thank you Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders / Morris County Historic Preservation Trust Fund for supporting the Boonton Holmes Public Library!

The Library will be closed on Monday, October 14 in honor of Columbus Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, October 15 at 10:00 am. Have a great weekend!

Boonton Day is Sunday, September 29. Be sure to stop by and “check out” the Library (and maybe a book, DVD, videogame or Nook as well…) during this fun filled day!

A reminder that storytimes will begin again this week.

Regular storytime hours are Tuesdays from 11-11:30, and Wednesdays from 10:30-11:00 in the Children’s section. We welcome children ages 2 to 5 to listen to stories, participate in sing-alongs and make special crafts that focus on a different theme each week.

The library will be open from 1:00-5:00pm on Sundays beginning Sunday, September 8!

It’s time again for M.A.I.N.’s Passport to Imagination Program!

How the contest works: You must first obtain a M.A.I.N. “passport” from your home library. Next, visit five other M.A.I.N. libraries. At each library you will receive a stamp in your passport. Library card holders who complete this series of library visits will be entered into a contest to win an Apple iPad, Google Nexus 7 or Kindle Paperwhite.

The contest begins September 1, 2024 and runs through September 30, 2013.

Additionally, check out the Captain MAINia interlibrary scavenger hunt. This program is open to all Passport to Imagination players under ten years old. If they are able to find Captain MAINia’s hot air balloon in the Children’s Room of each of the libraries they visit, they will be eligible for extra prizes!

Prizes will be awarded at a county-wide Passport drawing at the Morris County Library in October. Visit the library for more details.

Have fun and good luck in your travels!

The Boonton Holmes Public Library will be closed Saturday, August 31 through Monday, September 2 in honor of Labor Day. The library will reopen Tuesday, September 3 at 10:00 am. Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!
