Hoboken Public Library

The world's biggest soccer tournament is here -- and we can watch together!

Library F.C. is Hoboken Public Library's free community soccer viewing party series, bringing the beautiful game to our Small Program Room and Garden all tournament long.

First up: Mexico vs. South Africa on Thursday, June 11 at 3:00 PM.
📍 500 Park Avenue, Hoboken
Small Program Room and Garden

Whether you've followed soccer your whole life or you're just getting swept up in the excitement, there's a seat here for you. Light refreshments provided, all ages welcome, and best of all -- completely free.

A few things to know: screenings are held during library operating hours. If a match extends into overtime and conflicts with our closing time, supporters will need to continue watching elsewhere.

Check our events calendar at hobokenlibrary.org/events for upcoming match dates throughout the tournament.
