Dear Neighbor,

As a family with deep roots in Franklin Lakes, we have always believed that our library is one of the community's most valuable treasures.

For Diana, who grew up in Wyckoff, the library has been part of her life in Franklin Lakes for decades. Today, it remains a place that she, our children, and our grandchildren continue to enjoy and utilize. Like so many families in town, we have seen firsthand how the library connects people, inspires learning, and strengthens our incredible community.

That is why we are proud to support the Renewal Project - the ongoing renovation of the Franklin Lakes Public Library. This renovation—the first major transformation of the library in more than 20 years—is already bringing exciting improvements, including a redesigned foyer, enhanced meeting and gallery spaces, expanded seating areas, a welcoming new circulation desk, and an innovative recording and podcast studio.

But the work is not yet complete.

The centerpiece of the next phase is a reimagined Children's Library designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of reading for the next generation of Franklin Lakes families.

More than half of our residents hold library cards! Whether you visit the library weekly, occasionally, or simply appreciate knowing this resource is available to everyone in our town, we hope you will consider supporting this effort.

Your tax-deductible contribution—of any amount—will help complete this important project and ensure that our library continues to serve Franklin Lakes for decades to come.

Thank you for joining us in investing in our community's future.

Sincerely,

Phil, Diana, and the Simms Family
