This summer marks a bold new chapter for one of New Jersey’s most beloved public institutions. After more than a decade of planning, design, and community input, the Maplewood Memorial Library has reopened its doors–now as the first LEED Gold-certified library in New Jersey. Director of the Maplewood Memorial Library, Sarah Lester joins the show to alk about the vision behind the rebuild, the sustainability features, and what this space now means for the community.
