LIBRARY SERVICES

Mission Statement

Our purpose is to provide all residents with impartial and inclusive access to a wide range of information resources, programs, and services in order to encourage literacy and lifelong learning and to support educational, cultural, and recreational activities.

Library Cards

Milltown Public Library cards are available free to anyone who lives or works in Milltown, NJ.  To apply for a library card, please come into the library with a form of photo I.D.  and something showing your Milltown address, such as a tax bill, utility bill, or lease, or a paystub.

Non-Residents who have library cards from libraries that are participating in the New Jersey Open Borrowing Program may use their card in the Milltown Public Library.  For a list of participating libraries, please visit www.openborrowing.org.

Non-resident library cards are $50.00.

Fine Free Borrowing

The library does not charge fines for overdue books. We ask that patrons be courteous to other borrowers by returning materials on their due date so that there is no undue waiting. Library materials that are lost or damaged will be charged to patrons.

Open Borrowing

Milltown library card holders are able to place holds and borrow materials from any other STELLA member library, as well as any other libraries that are a part of the New Jersey Open Borrowing Program.
