Thank you to all our Sunday Brunch attendees, supporters, and donors! We will announce how much was raised in next few days. Regardless of the dollar amount, it sounded like it was enjoyed by all. More to come! (Updated 10/27/25)
All net proceeds will go toward the New FLPL Renovation & Expansion project.
The Friends of Fort Lee Public Library is hosting a Sunday Brunch Gala as our major fundraiser for the estimated $4.2 New FLPL Renovation & Expansion project. Phase 1 is underway and renovates about 25% of the Library building; the rest of the Library (Phase 2) still needs to be fully funded. Let’s Build Our New Library, Together!
Guests will enjoy a brunch buffet, omelette bar, waffle bar, unlimited mimosas, sodas, and coffee/tea. There is no cash or open bar. Live entertainment, silent auction (cash or credit cards accepted), 50-50 cash raffle (with 3 prizes!), a Book Pull (buy a new book for $25 cash and get a mystery gift card inside worth up to $25), flash fundraising event, and lots of fun!
There’s no annual Book & Media Sale at the Fort Lee Public Library this year, so join us for our Sunday Brunch Gala to support the Friends & FLPL!!
