Local History
The Boonton Holmes Library’s Local History room was started because of one librarian’s interest in local history. Jean Lee started by collecting pictures, newspaper clippings, and other items of interest and sorting them in the library basement. Now, the Jean Lee Local History Room, carries on her tradition.
