NA Library opened

NORTH ARLINGTON - The borough library is once again open for business – but on a limited basis.
Residents can use the library to check out books, but will have to wait a couple of weeks to do research or read in the library.
New furniture and computers are expected to be delivered this week and the library will be fully functional by about Aug. 24.
A formal grand re-opening of the library will be held on Sept. 12.
Renovations on the library began last spring. New carpeting was installed along with updated lighting and a new paint scheme was added to brighten and modernize the library.
