Welcome

Welcome to the Old Bridge Public Library web site! We are delighted that you are here.

Old Bridge Township is a geographically large and culturally diverse community. We serve our community directly through two branches: the Central Branch located in the Municipal Complex and the Laurence Harbor Branch located by the waterfront in Laurence Harbor. We are a member of the Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium, a consortium composed of twenty-five libraries in Middlesex, Monmouth and Union counties. Our membership in the Consortium brings access to the resources of all the member libraries to our residents of Old Bridge. Your Old Bridge library card is welcome in any of these libraries; and we have reciprocal borrowing agreements with most of the public libraries in Bergen County as well.

Our mission statement reads: “The Old Bridge Public Library provides a dynamic professional environment to meet the cultural, educational and recreational needs of all members of our community.” We take this commitment very seriously. Whether you are seeking information; want to find the best book to read; wish to attend a music concert or other cultural event; introduce your children to the world of learning and enrichment through storytimes or after-school programs; bring your teen to participate in the Teen Advisory Board; attend monthly Family programs; or spend time in the newly opened “Senior Spaces;” or just want to read your favorite current magazine in our Living Room space, we welcome you and look forward to getting to know you better.

We encourage you to let us know how we are doing in meeting our goal of providing the best library to the best community! Please fill out a Customer Comment form when you next visit. Your feedback is very helpful to us as we plan our services and our programs.

See you soon!

The Staff of the Old Bridge Public Library
