📖 About North Brunswick Public Library
North Brunswick Public Library is the public library of North Brunswick Township, a Middlesex County community that grew from a rural farming crossroads into one of New Jersey's larger suburban townships over the twentieth century. The library's mission — to inspire and empower the community to learn, create, connect and succeed — drives programming across all ages, from Therapy Dog reading sessions and StoryPlay for young children to Teen Trivia and Board Game Night, through adult job-search resources and literacy services. The library belongs to JerseyCat, New Jersey's statewide interlibrary loan network, giving cardholders access to millions of items from libraries across the state. A 2024–2026 Strategic Plan and an active construction project signal a sustained investment in upgraded facilities for the township. Patrons 18 and older with a card in good standing can borrow from a museum pass collection spanning ten institutions from Princeton to Philadelphia to New York City.
