DEBUT Creative Center & Theater-Studio is a dual-language (English–Russian) program where kids explore creativity, confidence, and self-expression. From theater and dance to fencing and stage performance, children can try new activities and discover their unique talents. Small class sizes let instructors give each child personalized attention, helping them feel comfortable, supported, and confident as they learn. Kids build artistic skills while also developing social confidence, teamwork, and poise on stage and in everyday life. Our programs celebrate each child’s individuality, combining fun, hands-on experiences with a focus on personal growth—all while keeping Russian language and culture an important part of the curriculum.

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.

Today, the library houses modern collections of books, magazines, and media for children, teens, and adults. Other amenities include three public access, Internet-connected PCs; free WiFi; a photocopier; and a collection of local history artifacts. Community programs are held throughout the year.
