A Friday movie matinee. That’s what drew me to the Little Ferry Free Public Library. The air buzzed with anticipation. Children giggled excitedly. Adults settled into their seats.
The Little Ferry Free Public Library isn’t just a repository of books. It’s the heart of this community. Located conveniently on Liberty Street it provides more than just access to over 5 million books through the Bergen County Cooperative Library System.
Its history is rich. A local history mural painted by Bill Riedel and sponsored by the Little Ferry Local History Society graces its walls. It’s a stunning visual representation of the town’s past. Each brushstroke tells a story of growth and change. Even the library’s accessibility is noteworthy. A wheelchair access ramp ensures everyone can enjoy its resources.
But what truly sets this library apart are its community programs. The Friday movie matinees are a beloved tradition. The “Friends of the Library” group meets regularly. They actively support the library’s mission. This is truly a vibrant space.
The Little Ferry Free Public Library is more than just a building. It’s a place where history comes alive. Where community thrives. Where imagination takes flight. It’s a place where the quiet turning of pages is punctuated by the laughter of children watching a Friday movie. It’s a place you should definitely visit.
