The Friends organization, created in September 2002, is a nonprofit and charitable 501(c)3 corporation. Our mission is dedication to lending support to the Board of Trustees of the library and their ongoing endeavors to provide high quality library services and materials to the community. We have underwritten many programs and activities that are outside of the normal, day to day budget of the Hackettstown Free Public Library.

2024 Spring Used Book Sale
The Friends’ Springtime used book sale was a success, thanks to the community’s amazing support. From those who donated items, to those who organized, served as sales clerks, and helped with teardown afterwards, we are incredibly grateful for your efforts. Thanks to your generosity, the Friends raised $1,132 for the Hackettstown Free Public Library. This contribution will benefit the library and all who use its resources.
2023 Holiday Mini Bazaar
The Friends’ Holiday Mini-Bazaar was productive, enjoyable, and brought in a profit of $647.00. We offered delicious home baked goods such as Cookie Brownies, Spicy Applesauce/Raisin Bread, Almond Confetti Cookies, Ginger Cookies, Pumpkin Bread, and Cranberry Bread. Handcrafted items included small hand sewn coupon holders/change purses all made in bright holiday fabrics. Our white elephant table offered a vintage jewelry collection, lots of holiday decorations, many candles, a silver hotplate in the design of a reindeer, embroidered items framed, and a few holiday cookbooks. We thank everyone who donated and everyone who worked. Happy Holidays!
