Your Library Needs Your Help
The Hackensack City Council has cut the Johnson Public Library budget by $239,904 this year in 2014, almost a 10% cut. The Library will receive LESS than what the Library received four years ago in 2010.
If library funding is not restored, programming, services and staff will be cut next year. The current cuts will ultimately lead to the library being CLOSED for one or more days a week. And the library has been warned that there may be more cuts.

A packed City Hall witnessed five council members take the oath of office after winning all open seats in the May 14 non-partisan municipal election.
John Labrosse, Kathleen Canestrino, David Sims, Leonardo "Leo" Battaglia, and Rose Greenman, who all ran as the Citizens for Change slate, were sworn in that night.
During the reorganization, council members were appointed as liaisons to the different city departments. Both Labrosse and Canestrino will serve on the Planning Board, assisting in overlooking the downtown's redevelopment projects. Battaglia was named liaison to the Assistance Board. Greenman was appointed to the Library Board while Sims was named Police Commissioner and liaison to the Recreation Board.
