The Municipal Library is located directly behind Borough Hall, on Stevens Place.
Features
Haworth has the best of both worlds. It is a quiet town, full of small-town atmosphere and tree-lined beauty, which belies the fact that we are close enough to New York City to be considered a suburb. The town boasts an excellent local school, Haworth Public School, as well as an excellent regional high school, Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest. The "downtown" area has a few stores, the post office, and two banks, and there are three houses of worship located throughout the town.
The pride of Haworth's heritage is the local dedication to community service. Haworth's numerous volunteers are this town's lifeblood. From the Fire and Ambulance Squads, to the Recreation Commission, to the Mayor and Councilpersons, and other departments too numerous to mention here, Haworth is rightfully proud of its tradition of volunteerism and community spirit.
Historical background
See History Page The Borough was incorporated in 1904, and since then has grown from a sparsely populated
farming community to the still relatively sparsely populated suburban community it is
today. However, never mistake small and quiet for stagnant!
Please browse around this website for more information about the town, and be sure to
