BRIELLE — The Brielle Board of Education discussed its ongoing library situation at its meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Parents raised concerns during a public comment session about repairing the library and the school’s plan to give students adequate reading time during school hours.
Water leaked into the elementary school’s library in 2021, causing a large bump in the floor and causing a “massive safety hazard,” according to Stacie Poelstra, principal and superintendent of Brielle Elementary. The library closed in the 2022-23 school year.
“What is the timeframe of the library?” said parent Mallory Bash. “I don’t know much about what the problem is … but all I know is that my first grader’s library time consists of playing video games on his chromebook.”

“And what can we do for the kids that we hassle to practice reading every night after school?” Ms. Bash continued. “It’s a huge concern for me.”
