Local Events
The 3rd Annual Historic Riverton Criterium is being held just outside our door on Sunday, June 9th. Last year, we were the lucky recipients of a $3000 donation from the race proceeds. This year, profits are going to the Riverton Fire Company. Check out our display of cool Fire Company memorabilia or come by on race day to get rested, refreshed, and to pick up a book or two! We will also have a special Children’s Music program at 1:30 p.m. to keep the little ones occupied. Click here to register your little one for Music and Movement with Larisa.
FREE BOOKS! We have boxes of gently used hardcover and paperback books available for the taking. If you are interested in arranging a time to pick up a minimum of 5 boxes of assorted books, please give us a call @ 829-2476 or via email mrobinso@bcls.lib.nj.us.

Riverton Free Library receives large donation!
In June of 2012, we received a check for $3000, donated by the Historic Riverton Criterium. Organized by local residents Carlos and Adrienne Rogers, this race has brought Riverton into the spotlight and is committed to bringing revenue to local non-profit organizations. We are honored and grateful that the Riverton Free Library was chosen as the 2012 recipient. This year, profits from the race will go the the Riverton Fire Company.
Our thanks to Bernard Markovitz, and his wife Jean,
for allowing the use of his pen and ink drawing of the library in this online web site as well as in other library publications.
