Welcome to the Campaign to Transform the Ridgewood High School Library into a new library/media center with flexible spaces for today’s students.
The current library is the most utilized room in the school, visited by more than 1,700 students each day. It is more than 48 years old and is no longer compatible with the way today’s students interact and learn. With your support, the vision of a new Learning Commons — with attractive and efficient research and study space — can become a reality for the students at Ridgewood High School.
The Learning Commons will feature:
- A state-of-the-art research center
- Multi-purpose space for teaching and group study
- Comfortable and inviting areas for individual and quiet study
- Many opportunities for creativity and collaboration
We ask the support of the entire Ridgewood community to achieve our vision.
Our fundraising goal is $925,000! Please donate today!
If you donate $1000 of the money raised to Room to Read you could build 2 libraries in a developing country and change truly needy kids lives forever. Seems like a good thing to do!!!

I wholeheartedly agree; monies spent in this area benefit ALL students. In Tenafly we have a very unique facility for a high school and wisely incorporated facilities and services not normally found in a typical high school library. See http://www.librarymedia.net. Your fund raising efforts are an inspiration.
My opinion about plan: too many small tables. This encourages click seating. Look at the Apple Store model. We have introduced a comunity seating concept in Tenafly this year. Stay tuned.
Love the idea of this, so sad that I never got to experience it as a student at Ridgewood High School.
