Temporary Closure of Lake Hiawatha Branch Library Due to Heat Conditions

The Lake Hiawatha Branch Library in Parsippany has closed temporarily in response to extreme heat and an inoperable air conditioning system. Officials are working diligently to install a new AC unit to ensure a safe environment for patrons and staff. The library anticipates reopening with limited hours on July 14, 2025, if installation conditions allow. All programs scheduled for July have been canceled or postponed, impacting community access to library services. Patrons are encouraged to visit the Parsippany Main Library or Mount Tabor Branch Library during this closure.

This upgrade is essential for maintaining a welcoming atmosphere, especially during the summer months. The Parsippany Library expresses gratitude to the community for its understanding and support. Ensuring functional climate control is a priority for the library's operational standards.
