PARKING
The New Brunswick Parking Authority operates a metered parking lot adjacent to the library and there is also metered on-street parking. The meters accept dimes (12 minutes) and quarters (30 minutes) up to a maximum of two hours. Metered parking is in effect from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Mondays through Fridays.
The parking lot is located off of Welton Street: It is behind and on the right side of the library when facing the building. (If you turn onto Welton Street from Livingston Avenue, take your second left into the parking lot. The first left is a dentist's office parking lot.)
