WANTAGE TOWNSHIP, NJ (Sussex County) – The Sussex County Library System (SCLS) has announced the upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Mobile Library – Dot.
Community members are invited to attend the celebration on Wednesday, June 18 at 5:00 p.m. at the Sussex-Wantage Branch, located at 69 County Route 639, Wantage Township.
The event will feature remarks from community leaders, a brief history of bookmobiles in Sussex County, a sneak peek inside Dot, and light refreshments.
Dot is named in honor of Dorothy Henry, the first librarian and bookmobile driver for SCLS, who was affectionately known as “Dot.” The tribute honors her legacy of bringing library services directly to the community.
“We’re so excited to introduce Dot to the public,” stated Will Porter, Director of the Sussex County Library System. “Dot Mobile Library continues the mission Dorothy Henry began—bringing library access to residents throughout the county, especially those who can’t easily get to a branch. It’s a proud moment for us and a meaningful step forward in community outreach.”
Dot will begin making regular stops and outreach visits later this summer.
For more information about this or other upcoming programs and events, visit SussexCountyLibrary.org or call the Main Library at 973-948-3660. All SCLS programs and events are free of charge and open to the public.
