Tenafly Library Moving
This Week to New Quarters
By CAROL DERBY WOOD,
Secretary, Library Board
TENAFLY --- Earlier articles in Mrs.Wood's series have introduced the Board of Trustees and the Tenafly Library Staff, as well as the services they provide for the community - books, magazines, reference material, and records. These constitute the Tenafly Public Library, which is this week moving into its new and beautiful quarters at the Tenafly Municipal Center.
The community has grown through the years. In many instances, people came to Tenafly because of the excellent schools, the fine police and fire departments, the friendliness of the people,the representative stores services, both professional and mechanical which are to be found here.
In many instances, however, people became distressed when they found the community's public library - surprised by the quality and fine selection of books cramming the shelves to capacity - but distressed by the antiquated facility itself.
Many times people have come to the old library to find every seat occupied, and the aisles in the non-fiction room so busy that it was difficult to find the material wanted.
When the new Tenafly library opens on Monday. March 11, all. that: cramming, crowding and inadequacy will he a thing of the past.
This is a major undertaking, involving the sorting, marking and packing of 25,500 books at the old location, and then reversing this process at the new building — all in less than a week's time.
Upon full establishment of the Library in its new quarters, the
Tenafly Library Board of Trustees is planning the establishment of a
"Friends of the Library" Association in the community, as a means by which people interested in furthering the library program will be given an opportunity of helping
in many ways to develop the library service and program to the borough.
