The Weehawken Public Library is the free public library of Weehawken, New Jersey. The library has a collection of approximately 43,000 volumes and circulates 40,604 items annually. It is a member of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System, a consortium of municipal libraries in the northeastern New Jersey counties of Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, and Essex.One of the atypical buildings to be used as a library, it is located at 49 Hauxhurst Avenue on a precipice overlooking the Lincoln Tunnel Approach and Helix. Originally built as a private home, it became a library in 1942, and was extensively renovated in 1997. The landmark is home to the town's historical commission. An annual fundraiser for the library at Lincoln Harbor, a culinary event called A Taste of Weehawken, has taken place since 2000.
