Our reference librarians are specially trained in children's, young adult, and adult services. They can request materials from partner libraries, place holds on materials, assist your research, recommend books, show you how to use our online catalog, provide computer access, locate materials for you, or answer any other question you have.
The librarians also have access to print and electronic indexes that provide citations to newspaper and magazine articles on a variety of subjects. Articles can be obtained in print, microfilm, or online format. As a member of the New Jersey Library Network, the New Brunswick Free Public Library has the power to go far beyond its own doors to provide the information needed.
Our services are available in person, by phone, or by email. It might surprise you how much of our library's services are completely free. Take advantage of our access!
