Harding Township Library

February 13th, 2009

In a previous blog, I promised to tell you about the Harding Township Library. This is a major effort to build a free-standing structure next to Kirby Hall on Blue Mill Road in New Vernon. The current library is located in a small corner of Kirby Hall and has completely outgrown its available space. Books have no shelves and readers have no seats!

The Library Executive Board has campaigned diligently for private funds. The aggressive goal of $6 million dollars is almost achieved! The realization of this vibrant entity will benefit many segments of the residents of Harding Township.

One of these beneficiaries will be Harding’s children. They will be able to participate in activities, story groups, and other events. These will not only help children appreciate books, but to meet other children from other schools and to offer a meaningful alternative to the Internet in research projects.

Another segment of the population which will benefit will be Harding’s seniors. This will become a gathering place in which many events can take place. The library will offer a place to read, socialize, and make friends. The sense of community, stability and camaraderie cannot be beat!
