The Worth-Pinkham Memorial Library's services to the community began when the Ho-Ho-Kus Free Public Library Association was formed in 1924. It was municipalized in 1927 and has had several locations, including an unused jail cell, a building on East Franklin Turnpike, and its current home at the corner of North Franklin Turnpike and Warren Avenue. The present building was donated to the Borough by Caroline Mildreth Worth Pinkham and dedicated in 1988.
