Welcome to the new Borough of Oaklyn website.  We appreciate your patience and hope you find this to be a useful tool in keeping you informed of Borough news.  While we don't expect this to replace any other form of access to Borough information we certainly hope it will make the availability of information much easier.  As you will notice, we still have some work to do to get this completely functional and certainly are open to any suggestions you have in making this site the best it can be.

One of the greatest things about living in a small town like Oaklyn is the community feel.  We have some many organizations in town that are successfully managed by volunteers.  From Oaklyn Little League to the Oaklyn Civic Association to the Friends of the Oaklyn Memorial Library.  There is certainly a place for every resident, young and old, to feel welcome and lend a hand.  We will soon be adding a community organization page to this website that will allow you to see all that is available and reach out to the contact for more information.

Catch the Hometown Spirit!  Get involved!
