Somerset County Library

About

Your Somerset County Library System of New Jersey has resources and services to make the world work better for you no matter “where you are in life”. It doesn’t matter if you are a new parent, an entrepreneur starting a business, a professional looking to improve your skills, a hobbyist, gardener, or gourmand; it doesn’t matter if you are in one of our ten full-service branches, away at school, in your office, at the Shore, or even homebound. We have what you are looking for and, better yet, we have what you didn’t know we have! And lots of that can be delivered right to you. Here are some examples: Want to visit the Guggenheim? We have free tickets. Want to hone your Excel skills? We have high-quality online courses(This link opens in a new tab). Want to read an ebook or listen to an audiobook? We have New Jersey’s biggest collection(This link opens in a new tab). Still prefer listening to albums? We have the best CD collections anywhere. We even created custom themed sets of CDs, like “Jersey Boys(This link opens in a new tab)”, “Motown Sound(This link opens in a new tab)” and “Murderous Musicals(This link opens in a new tab)”. Looking for a movie not on your streaming service? We have a better selection(This link opens in a new tab) of movies than Blockbuster™ ever had. Want a quiet place to study or concentrate? Check(This link opens in a new tab) (select one of eight quiet study rooms at Montgomery or a quiet corner in any branch). Want to read newspapers and magazines from across the country and around the world? You’ll never run out with Flipster(This link opens in a new tab) and PressReader(This link opens in a new tab). Want your child to become a reader? We don’t just read stories to kids, we are specialists in age-appropriate reading readiness. Want to read but can’t get out of the house? We have a service for qualified homebound residents. Want to learn a language? Which one? We have more than 70 on tap. Need a WiFi hotspot for a trip? Score! Is your PC unavailable? Use ours. You are likely already a library user if you are reading this. And yet you may still be surprised by all Library has in store for you. Stop in or call — we’d love to show you all we have to offer. And, yes, we do still have books. Thousands of them. And if we don’t have the one you’re looking for, we’ll do the legwork to get it for you.
