• …and more coming soon!

You can get a preview of what Niche Academy is like below. Clicking on the button will open the interactive tutorial right in the same page! No need to worry about pop-up blockers or getting lost in new tabs.

We are happy to announce that access is currently available to Mango Languages. This language learning database not only features over 70 world language courses, but it also provides English courses for English learners, accommodating over 20 source languages.

Mango is accessible on the web and as an app. You have to first create your account on the website. You can continue to use the service on the desktop. If you prefer to use a mobile device, you can download it for your iOS Device on the App Store or for your Android Device on the Play Store.

If you need help setting up your account, or if you have any additional questions, please give the Reference Desk a call at 973-593-6161 or email us at refdesk@mmt.mainlib.org.

Adjacent to Thomas Jefferson Elementary School is the 24-acre Foote’s Pond Wood park. The Friends of Foote’s Pond Wood (FoFPW) is ” a welcoming, grassroots group dedicated to the care and preservation of Foote’s Pond Wood.”

Recently, the FoFPW was granted the 2022 Community Recognition Award from the Morris Park Alliance. The award is currently on display right here at the Morristown & Morris Township Library! Stop in when you get a chance to check it out.

To learn more about the FoFPW and their mission, be sure to check out their website.

Between May 3 and July 28, 2022, Libby will perform server upgrades to enhance the performance and security of the systems used to access the digital collection.

These upgrades will be completed between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesdays and Thursdays only during the period noted above. Your Libby service will be impacted only once for approximately 60 minutes or less.

Patrons will still be able to sign in to the digital collection and browse or read titles, but may encounter errors when attempting to borrow, place a hold, or return titles during your maintenance period.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
