Upcoming Events

Our next events

July 21: A mid-day Staib Park River Clean-Up with the Hackensack Riverkeeper

Every year, from April through November, Hackensack Riverkeeper's cleanup program mobilizes over 1,000+ volunteers and removes an average of 25,000 pounds of trash from our local waterways. If you enjoy spending time outdoors and want to be actively involved in restoring your river, sign up now as the Friends join the Riverkeeper at Staib Park in Hackensack on July 21. All you need to do is wear an outfit you do not mind getting dirty, and the Riverkeeper will provide the rest of the equipment, including trash grabbers, gloves, garbage bags, tools, sun/bug spray, and PIZZA!

Because of the extreme heat in June, we postponed until September our planned Sunset Eco-Cruise in the Meadowlands with the Hackensack Riverkeeper. The event will be limited to the first 20 people who sign up, because that is all the two boats hold. The cost is $300 per boat, so we are keeping the per person cost at $30 to encourage participation by the Friends. 

The Riverkeeper's Eco-Cruises are fully narrated environmental education tours – and the BEST way to explore the Hackensack River, the marshes of the Meadowlands, and Newark Bay. Plan now to join us aboard their big, comfortable pontoon boats Robert H. Boyle II and Geraldine Theresa for a unique, informative, and FUN time on the water! 

The Friends of the Johnson Public Library is an independent  501(c)(3) organization and all net proceeds will benefit the Johnson Public Library.
