Plans for a new library were originally announced by Councilman Robert Cusick in 2003. After the plans were delayed, causing state funding to dry up, the public rejected building a new facility in 2007 when the town held Democracy Day to gauge the public's support. Then-candidates for Borough Council, Christine Buteas and Franky Salerno, pledged to revive the plan when they ran in 2008, but shortly after taking office stated that they had no plans to pursue it due to the economy.
The Council's Democratic majority did not attempt to re-start the project in 2009. Earlier this year, however, the Library Board announced the plan to move to a larger facility on Montrose Avenue. The plan came under criticism when members of the public objected to the location, which is in an industrial zone.
