The Guttenberg Resource Center has ꦫexpanded into a larger space in theಞ downstairs level of the Galaxy Towers Mall.
North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco and Guttenberg Mayor Wayne Zitt jointly cut the ribbon on the expand🌳ed library space on Thursday, Sept. 10.
More resources for the community
Originally opened on July𒅌 31, 2018 in a corner of the mall facing the front door, the Gutte💦nberg Resource Center quickly outgrew that location.
When the larger space next door opened up, the decision was made to expand the library to accommodate more programs and activities. A section of the wall was opened. The old site bꦯecame 🧔the children’s department, while the new portion was redesigned into a new space for teens and adults.
Included are a pool table, a conference and ac𓄧tivities area, study spaces, comfort🐓able seating, and much more.
Executive Director Sai Rao of the North Bergen Free Public Library was instrumental in bringing the Resource Center to Guttenberg, as a branch of the NB library system. She was joined at the ribbon cutting by the m✃ayors, Guttenberg’s council members, various other town officials, representatives from several other libraries, and members of the libraries’ dedicated staff.
The ribbon cutting was broadcast live on Facebook, followed by a virtu🐬al tour of the new facilities.
Then it was time for the highly anticipated comeback of local favorite Pee Wee ⛎the Magician, with a kids-or🃏iented show complete with live animals.
