Congratulations!

We are proud to share that our library director, Tanya Finney Estrada, has been named the recipient of the NJLA Librarian of the Year Award!

This recognition reflects a continued commitment to serving the community, supporting staff, mentoring future librarians, and advocating for the essential role of public libraries.

“Being recognized in this way is truly humbling. The work I do is only possible because of community supporters who recognize the importance of what we do and believe in the power of public libraries to change lives. This recognition reinforces the importance of inclusive, welcoming spaces and strong community-centered leadership. It also motivates me to continue building a library that fosters opportunity, innovation, and belonging. I am grateful and committed to the work ahead.”

We are honored to celebrate this accomplishment and remain committed to serving as a space of opportunity, learning, and belonging for all.
