Picnic Table Swiped From Washington Twp. Library, Employees Say

LONG VALLEY, NJ — The Washington Township Library is asking the public to keep an eye out for a runaway picnic table.

On Friday afternoon, the library posted on social media that its outdoor picnic table was gone, and employees do not know where it went.

"If you or someone you know took our picnic table, please bring it back and place it where it was taken from," the library posted. "We miss it. Sometimes, we eat lunch there."

Representatives were sure to remind social media users that this is, in fact, "not a joke."

Employees said they've checked with the Department of Public Works, which proved fruitless. Additionally, there's no surveillance footage catching the alleged table bandits.

If you spot the missing table, the library can be reached at 908-876-3596, or visited at 37 East Springtown Road in Long Valley.
