Our New Chapter
From Devastation Comes Opportunity
The Caldwell Public Library will finally have a new, permanent home at 80 Bloomfield Ave.
In 2021, after a devastating flood destroyed the Library's original home of over 100 years, it was recognized that the Library needed a new, safe, and accessible space that would allow the Library to continue to serve all people in our mission as a welcoming literary, educational, and community hub for all.
Construction started in the Spring of 2025 and we anticipate starting the moving process at the very end of the calendar year. To get updates, please subscribe to our email newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
