PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Library proudly unveiled two new public meeting rooms at its Main Library during a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on Wednesday, July 23. The event marked a milestone in the library’s ongoing efforts to enhance community access to flexible, functional gathering spaces.
Mayor James R. Barberio, Council Vice President Frank Neglia, Library Board members, Chamber of Commerce members, Economic Development Chairman Frank Cahill, Acting Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Denis Mulroony, Board of Education President Alison Cogan, and other community leaders gather to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of two new meeting rooms at the Parsippany Main Library.
“This is a staple of our community, Parsippany Library,” comments Mayor James R. Barberio during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “A lot of individuals love our library system. The fact that they can come here, study, and do the things that [the] Library offers.”
Library Director Melissa Kuzma offered remarks on the importance of the new rooms and the role they will play in fostering community connection.
“These rooms are more than just physical spaces,” said Director Kuzma. “They represent our continued commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our community. We are excited to see how these spaces will be used and shared by the patrons of Parsippany Library.”
The two new rooms were designed to accommodate a wide variety of programs, meetings, and small group activities. With this addition, the Parsippany Library expands its capacity to serve as a hub for lifelong learning, civic engagement, and community development.
The project was made possible through support from the Library Board, municipal leadership, and community stakeholders. For information on room reservations and upcoming programs hosted in the new spaces, please visit www.parsippanylibrary.org.
