All About the Renovation

Why are we doing this Renovation now? Fort Lee Public Library needs it and the public asked for all the updates, changes, and features that are included in the Renovation plans for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

This project is being supported, in whole or in part, by federal award number CPFFNO185 awarded to the State of New Jersey by the U.S. Department of Treasury.

The New FLPL Renovation & Expansion plans and fundraising needs

Name or Dedicate a new room (Phase 1/started last year at $5,000 and selling out quickly); contact Chris Yurgelonis, Library Director, for a meeting to discuss your options and donation.

Add your name to our new Donors’ Wall (plaques start at $1,000), which will be unveiled in early 2026 once the library fully reopens after Phase 1 is complete.
