📖 About Secaucus Public Library and Business Resource Center

The Secaucus Public Library and Business Resource Center at 1379 Paterson Plank Road is the Town of Secaucus's municipal public library, operated as part of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System (BCCLS) — a consortium of public libraries spanning Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, and Essex counties. A BCCLS card from Secaucus unlocks the collections of all member libraries and statewide digital resources. The library maintains an active Local History program anchored by the Secaucus Digital History Archive (accessible via DigiFy), the Hudson County 'At Home and At War' project, and documentary film collections covering the Korean and Vietnam War eras. A separate Katherine Steffens Annex at 1007 Riverside Station Boulevard serves the XChange neighborhood with its own hours. The library describes itself as 'a place where people celebrate words, ideas, and community every day.'
