About the Library
Library Mission
The West Orange Public Library is a welcoming and lively center for lifelong learning and literacy, personal enrichment, and community interaction as well as a major contributor to the prosperity and growth of our town. The dedicated and knowledgeable staff serves all patrons, promotes the love of reading and self-expression, and through a dynamic global network of resources, provides a physical and virtual gateway to information literacy.
