Welcome To The Pennsville Library

 Pennsville Library goes Green

The newly installed solar panels on the roof of the library are now generating power. Over the years, the library has received many bequests, some of which were restricted for use only on capital improvements. In an effort to increase the library's economic and ecologic sustainability, the Trustees decided to utilize some of these funds to install a 34kW solar power generation system.

The system, installed by Trinity Solar (with a 25 year warranty), will provide:

  • all of the electricity for the library
  • additional power which can be sold back to the grid
  • 10 points towards Pennsville’s “Sustainable Jersey” certification

"Together we can help save the Pennsville Public Library"

The library's fiscal year runs from May 1 to April 30. Last year we received $135,000 of our $165,000 operating budget from the township. This year our funding was cut to $40,000 from the township. This at least gives us enough money to keep the library open for a few more months while we conduct fund raising.

Unless we receive substantial funding from alternate sources rather quickly, we will soon run out of operating capital.
