The Library was built in 1896-97 on Church Square Park. It was the third library in New Jersey. It contains a very important historical collection of books, photos, publications, original documents and even council minutes related to the history and culture of the city of Hoboken.
The dome was originally sheathed in copper. Being a Historical Building, in 2008 a grant was given to repair, restore and rehabilitate it. It is a very active site with lots of activities for the citizens of Hoboken of all ages.
