Reflections on the Pandemic – Now Available!
For many of us, COVID was our first experience living through a global pandemic.  It affected our lives in many different ways.  The Friends of the Library reached out to our community to gather together a collection of personal thoughts and experiences, now available at the Pompton Lakes Library in a limited edition published book “Reflections on the Pandemic”.  For a $5 donation, you can pick up your copy of this collection, only available at the Pompton Lakes Library.
