Snow closing

The library will be closed on Saturday, February 6 due to weather conditions.

Updated: It’s tax season again!

Beginning in Spring 2010 (for the 2009 tax year), due to budget constraints the State of New Jersey will no longer be providing paper Income Tax Forms in bulk to libraries or post offices.  You may print out or copy tax forms at the library for 15 cents a page.

For information on how to get forms or file online, go to this page on the NJ Division of Taxation website. Please be aware that the 800 number given for ordering forms by phone will not allow requests for the 2009 NJ-1040 Resident Tax Form booklet.

VITA will be offering help with income tax preparation again this year. They will be in the library’s meeting room on Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., February 18 through April 8, 2010. To make an appointment, call (856) 287-3023.

For links to printable federal tax forms, online tax filing services, and more see the Tax Information page on the library’s website.
