"The Linden Public Library was proud to participate in the City of Linden’s Backpack Giveaway at School #1 on Friday, August 21, 2026!

A big shout-out to Library staff members Ginger, Augustina, and Nikeesha, who registered new library cardholders, shared information about our programs and services, and handed out 200 bags filled with fun Library giveaways.

Thank you to Linden Public Schools, the Mayor’s Office, and State Senator Nick Scutari’s staff for helping secure backpacks and school supplies so Linden families could start the new school year prepared.

Finally, a special thank you to the teen interns and volunteers who distributed more than 300 backpacks to local families! Your hard work helped make the event a tremendous success.

We’re proud to work alongside our community partners to support Linden’s children and families. 🎒📖"

Linden Public Library is heartbroken to hear about the death of Dolly Parton. She was an incredible woman known not only for her amazing talent in music, TV, and film, but as a philanthropist.

We are also proud to play a part in carrying on that legacy through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Linden which is funded and administered by the Friends of Linden Library.

We would like to take a moment to honor the woman who invested so much in communities around the globe. May her legacy shine on.

"It was an honor to represent the Linden Public Library at the ribbon cutting and opening of the new Raising Cane’s in Linden on Monday, August 17, 2026.

I was pleased to join Mayor Derek Armstead, State Senator Nick Scutari, Superintendent Atiya Perkins, Councilmembers Michele Yamaikaitis and Kayla Lott, and other community leaders in welcoming Raising Cane’s to Linden.

A special thank you to Raising Cane’s for celebrating its opening by giving back to Linden by generously providing $1,000 checks to the Linden Public School District and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Union County.

I hope everyone has an opportunity to visit and enjoy Linden’s newest restaurant. I also look forward to the possibility of the Linden Public Library partnering with Raising Cane’s on community initiatives in the future.

Welcome to Linden, Raising Cane’s!"
