Monmouth County provides assistance to
Hazlet Public Library with HVAC Repairs

FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners aided the Hazlet Public Library following temporary closures due to air conditioning issues.

“Monmouth County is committed to being a true partner to our municipalities and stepping in when help is needed,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Department of Facilities Management. “On behalf of my fellow Commissioners, I want to thank the dedicated employees in our Department of Facilities Management for working with Hazlet Township to figure out a way to reopen their library doors quickly.”

Hazlet Township contacted the County for assistance in diagnosing an issue with their library's air conditioning system. The County provided a temporary fix while a long-term repair plan was developed, with an estimated timeline of six months to a year.

“The Monmouth County Library System provides invaluable resources and programming to our community, so it's crucial that branches remain open and accessible,” said Commissioner Erik Anderson, liaison to the Monmouth County Library System. “If you haven’t visited one of our 13 branches, I encourage you to take some time this summer to discover all the great things the Library System has to offer.”
