MANALAPAN, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners was proud to celebrate the reopening of the Monmouth County Library Headquarters on Saturday, Sept. 29, following the completion of significant interior renovations.

“We are thrilled to reopen our beautiful and updated Library Headquarters which will serve residents for years to come,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “The scope of the renovations included flooring, painting, ceiling and lighting replacements, technology upgrades, furniture replacements and restroom updates.”

“We are fortunate in Monmouth County to have access to a state-of-the-art library system,” said Commissioner Erik Anderson, liaison to the Monmouth County Library System. “Libraries are an essential part of our communities and with the extensive renovations, the headquarters branch in Manalapan will continue providing people with a comfortable place to read, study, access the internet and more.”

This project was funded by a $1.9 million New Jersey Public Library Construction Bond Act grant with matching funds procured through a capital improvement bond ordinance requested by the Monmouth County Library Commission and approved by the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners.

The library headquarters is also home to the Monmouth County Archives.

In addition to the headquarters branch in Manalapan, Monmouth County Library System branches are located in Allentown, Atlantic Highlands, Colts Neck, Hazlet, Holmdel, Howell, Marlboro, Oceanport, Ocean Township, Shrewsbury, Wall Township and West Long Branch.

I’ve had my dream job of waking up with all the great listeners and members of Brookdale Public Radio since January 3, 2005. Prior to this job, I began my career in radio at NJ 101.5 FM as a producer. From there, I took time off from radio to do other things. (including becoming a mom!)
