Hackettstown Free Public Library — Attraction in Hackettstown

This is my favorite library! The director and head of circulation are always looking for new programs to offer and everyone who works here is excited to make the library a welcoming place. I constantly hear about fresh things to do here: not just the expected things like book clubs either. There was a cryptid festival, Mantis Man-ia, a few weeks ago that was awesome! So much fun. There's a maker space with 3D printers and a Cricut, there's knitting workshops, there's writer's clubs and tabletop games, there's a bit of everything here. If I had enough time I could probably hang out here every weekend and find something fun to do. As it is I try to stop in often and see what's happening.

Highly recommend! Stop in if you're nearby and...

I come here every so often for programs but every time I am here the staff is very friendly and helpful.

I can tell the staff is very dedicated to making the library a warm and welcoming space for everyone. Overall this library is pretty great, would recommend stopping by and checking it out if you...

Not a library compared to the Warren County library on Rt. 46 right outside Hackettstown in Great Meadows. Hackettstown library is small and quaint. If that's what you look for in a library then this is your library. If you want more room, more tables to do your work; then I would go to the Warren County library. In either case, going to any library is a good thing. - Dr....
