📖 About Sayreville Public Library
The Sayreville Public Library was founded in 1931 through the Free Public Library Association of Sayreville, a community-driven initiative to bring public library service to the borough. The library spent years at Borough Hall before moving on January 1, 1960 to official municipal status, and then relocated on August 1, 1971 to its present building at 1050 Washington Road in the Parlin neighborhood. Today it serves Sayreville Borough in Middlesex County with a broad range of materials, digital resources and in-person services. The library is a member of STELLA (a shared interlibrary loan network) and offers free notary service, museum passes, Chromebook and Wi-Fi hotspot lending, wireless printing, and community meeting space — plus homework help and college/career prep resources for students.
