Welcome to the Mendham Township Library, New Jersey

We’re Moving

Why are we moving? The Mendham Twp Administrative Building is being renovated. Vital services such as plumbing, electric and HVAC are being upgraded and the building will become ADA compliant.

Where are we going? Our temporary location will be The Anderson Wing, Brookside Community Church, behind 6 East Main Street, Brookside. It has convenient parking, a courtyard and is just 200 steps from our front door!

When? We will move w/b September 26th. The library will be closed from Monday Sept 26th for one week. We will reopen in our new space on Monday October 3rd. The renovation project is scheduled to take 8 months.

What’s being renovated in the library? We’ll be updating you regularly on how the project is progressing and the exciting changes to come. Please continue to follow us on social media for all updates.

Rest assured that during the renovation ONLY our location will be changing – our services and programs will continue as normal. You depend on us and we are here for you! Questions? Email us or ask when you’re next in the library!

Wonderful Things: An Introduction to King Tutankhamun and His Tomb

Virtual
Monday October 24th, 7:00 pm
Registration required. Register Online
The discovery of the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922 was arguably the most famous archaeological find of the 20 th century. How was the tomb discovered? Who were the scholars responsible for the find and, who was the Boy King and why did his tomb survive largely intact for thousands of years while those of so many other pharaohs were lost? This well-illustrated presentation by Richard Veit, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology and Interim Dean of the School Of Humanities And Social Sciences at Monmouth University, seeks to answer those questions as we celebrate the centennial of this amazing discovery.
