West Orange is currently in the process of building a new library for the town. I'm not sure how much of that cost is being paid from state vs. local funding.

The library may have been awarded a grant to the Construction Bond Act of 2018(not sure of the date). Libraries that applied for the grant which could only be used for construction related expenses had to provide matching funds. Those funds could have come from the municipality, library reserves, or whatever other sources the library was able to secure.
