Library, summer programming and recreation bylaws get updates

Old Tappan Borough Council · June 17, 2026

Summary

Councilwoman Costello reported on upcoming library summer programs, pending capital-improvement quotes and a plan to hire an HR consultant to produce library policies; recreation news included open soccer registration, Camp Serendipity start date (June 29) and a near-final draft of revised recreation commission bylaws.

Councilwoman Costello updated the council on library and recreation activities, including an upcoming summer-reading kickoff, capital-improvement quotes beginning to arrive, and work to create a policy handbook for the library.

"They're starting to come in, and so to make sure that they can do what they needed to get done within the budgeted amounts," Councilwoman Costello said of the capital quotes for furniture, plumbing and roofing. She added that an HR consultant has been engaged to assemble library policies and a handbook and will return recommendations to the council. On recreation, she said soccer registration is open for the fall and Camp Serendipity begins June 29 with weekly field trips for older campers. She also reported a near-final draft of updated bylaws for the recreation commission and said the commission will review them before formal adoption.

Council members did not take immediate budget votes during the meeting; the report framed upcoming work and signaled future items that may require formal appropriation.
