The library occupies its own building at 1 Memorial Drive and belongs to the Bergen County Cooperative Library System (BCCLS), a consortium of 74 public libraries spanning Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, and Essex counties. BCCLS membership means a Lodi card unlocks the shared catalog of hundreds of thousands of items available for delivery to the home branch, along with OverDrive/Libby eBooks, hoopla digital media, and Gale research databases. The library offers personalized reader's advisory, mobile printing (up to 100 black-and-white or 60 color pages per day), ESL programs, computer classes, job-search help, and rotating art exhibits in its two glass display cases — reflecting Lodi's notably diverse and multilingual community.
