Serving our Community
Membership in the Library is free of charge. Serving all our patrons, adults, young adults and children is a top priority for the Library. Helpful professionals and trained volunteers assist in book and media selection.

The Library's main branch is located in a spacious, attractive and modern facility on the Alex Aidekman Family Jewish Community Campus (Whippany). It is open year round (except Jewish and civil holidays).

The library was named in memory of Jerry Waldor's parents, Jack and Rose, and his brother, Milton. Rita and Jerry* Waldor established the Waldor Library Resource Endowment Fund, which provides the library with an annual guaranteed income for acquisition of new materials.
