Ridgewood NJ, it has been pointed out by some readers that unless the published list of Ridgewood Library Trustees is incorrectly stated on their website listing the ex-mayor and one of his appointees on the Library Board as the current mayor .
Last time we checked there was a new mayor in the Village of Ridgewood , and she seemed eminently qualified to represent the residents of the Village.
Removing the Ex-mayor and his appointee and adding the current mayor with her appointee would help restore the public’s confidence as to the direction of the Library . The continued association with the ex-mayor only leads one to conclude for many residents that something nefarious is going on.

With or without those people I DO NOT WANT A $5 MILLION UPGRADE IN A FLOOD ZONE. (Here’s hoping the super-anti-fung shui setup is overhauled, and the food court eliminated.)
When the Wyckoff Library built an addition they put some tiny fraction of their materials in a little store in a strip mall for a year or so. What’s going to happen here? The existence of the internet does not mean students and others do not need books. Nearby libraries had better batten down their hatches. Ridgewood should probably send them money for the overflow. On the bright side, more people may realize how much friendlier and pleasant other libraries are.
