It is with deep sadness that I post of John Jacoby's passing. John was one of the original members of the Friends of the Library that built the library at no cost to the town. John continued to be a Friend that you would always see at the Art Shows serving wine at the Preview and also manning the art show with his wife, Joanne. He also regularly worked sorting for the book sale, and setup with Joanne. He along with Arnold Kleeburg put together a request for bid when the Friends replaced the carpeting in the main part of the library and the Children's room. John was a "Doer" that this town sorely missed when he moved out of Colts Neck in 2016.

Sharing for Colts Neck Township Schools >> I am a teacher at CRPS. I am reaching out regarding the retirement of beloved CRPS teacher, Mrs. Caffyn Price, after 36 years of teaching in Colts Neck! To celebrate her and the lasting impact she has had on so many students, we are creating a special memory book for her! If you would like to share anything that you and your child remember about their experience with her, please email [email protected] and we will add them to the book. Thank you so much!
