The State awarded the Montclair Public Library $36.6 million for our renovation. A lot of you have asked us what that really means, and the answer is a little more interesting (and more complicated) than a big check in the mail. So we made a short video, about two and a half minutes long, that explains it in plain terms: what the award really is, when the money comes, and why the Township and our philanthropic community are such important partners in making this renovation happen.

We hope you'll take a few minutes to watch, and pass it along to a neighbor or friend who has wondered how this works.
