Governor Murphy announced today that libraries throughout the state of New Jersey may start offering "curbside or no contact" pickup of materials as early as next week.
We are hard at work planning how to re-open in ways that prioritize your safety and the safety of library staff. The re-opening will occur in several phases. We are currently in Phase I.
Getting items on hold:
Your holds from March are right where we left them. Soon you will be contacted to see if you are still interested and when they will be available for pick up.
Returning checked out materials:
The book drop is available for returning materials. There is no rush as dates have been extended to July 31st. For your safety and the safety of our staff, all materials will be quarantined for 72 hours before being checked in and reshelved.
No-contact pick-up of materials:
'We will make an announcement soon regarding when you may begin picking up library materials for check out. You can begin to use the online catalog to seach for titles or use this link to see all the newest books available as of last March. New books will be added as deliveries resume.
The building will be open to the public after the Governor's Executive Order that closed libraries back in March is lifted. We are working to prepare the building so it is safe for library users and staff.
Access to Libby (e-books) is available 24/7as well as the Scholastic Storybooks for kids. Need help setting it up or using, call or email, we're happy to help.
