Friends Ring in 2025 with a Puzzle & Game Sale

The Friends of the Scotch Plains Public Library are at it again! On January 31, the all-volunteer group hosted a puzzle and game sale that drew in community members of all ages — and raised over $650 for the Scotch Plains Public Library. True to form, the Friends turned a simple sale into a fun neighborhood event, giving residents a great excuse to stock up on games while supporting a cause that benefits everyone in town.

Every dollar raised by the Friends goes directly to the library, funding beloved programs like the Summer Reading Program, youth and adult events, and the Museum Pass Program — which gives Scotch Plains cardholders free or discounted access to 15 museums across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The January puzzle and game sale is just one example of how this dedicated group of volunteers works year-round to make the Scotch Plains Public Library an even richer resource for the community.
