The Friends of the Scotch Plains Public Library hosted a lively Trivia Night on March 4th, and by all accounts, it was a night to remember. More than 50 community members packed Darby Road, bringing their best knowledge — and competitive spirit — for an evening of fun, friendly rivalry, and great company. From pop culture to history to everything in between, players of all backgrounds came together to test their wits and support a great cause.
The event featured two full games of trivia across six themed categories, with questions carefully crafted to challenge even the sharpest minds in the room. Teams huddled together, debated answers, and cheered each other on throughout the night. The host kept things exciting right until the final round, ensuring that no team could ever feel entirely out of contention — and no lead was ever truly safe.
Beyond the bragging rights and some beautiful prizes (like custom glasses), the evening made a meaningful difference for the library. The event raised almost $500, with proceeds going directly toward programs and resources that benefit the entire Scotch Plains community. Organizers were thrilled with the turnout and the generosity shown by everyone who participated, donated, and helped make the night a success.
The Friends of the Scotch Plains Public Library extend a heartfelt thank you to all who attended, volunteered, and helped spread the word. Events like this one are only possible because of a community that shows up — and Scotch Plains showed up in a big way.
