Sally Stretch Keen Memorial Library

Buy a brick to repair our bricks and keep your library open!

After 100 years of service, the Sally Stretch Keen Memorial Library in Vincentown needs your help. Some crucial repairs to our historic building will keep our books dry and our doors open. To make this happen, we applied for and won a matching NJ Historic Trust Grant. This is a real honor. It means the Trust recognizes the importance of our building’s architecture, history, and role as your community library. We are thrilled to be preserving our historic building, but a matching grant means that we need our community to help us raise our share after the grant award, which is $57,000.

This $57,000.00 is in addition to our normal, annual fundraising. The Sally is a full service library with access to County resources, but did you know that the township and the county only provide a portion of our operating costs? Every year we depend on donations from people like you to help us pay our staff, keep the lights and the water on, put on our wonderful programs…and of course, purchase books. We are committed to promoting literacy and bringing our community together, but we can’t do it without you.

Your engraved brick will be a permanent show of your support for our building preservation and all that we do in our community. Bricks will line the library walkway and will be a lasting reminder that the library belongs to all of us.

We thank you for becoming a part of our legacy!
