    Blast from the past - baby boomer toy memorabilia on display in the children's section.

    Excellent library. It's modern looking and well organized. I've mostly been at the children's section. (Shame on me for not reading more) They have a enormous selection of books, and they are always adding new ones. If you can not find a book you can search their book database at another participating library and they will get it for you. You can also reserve a book to be held for you when it becomes available. In addition to books, you can rent movies, music, and video games. The children's section has computers with educational games, and there are usually a calendar of kids activities and classes that you can sign your child up for. The librarians are friendly, will help you find what you need. The library also has a lot of computers you can surf the web for free (if you have a library card). Surprisingly you can even eat at the library. I was shocked to see that myself. I'm happy to have this library as a Monroe resident. It definitely feels good to see your tax dollars put to good use.

    As a teacher and someone who tutors students at the South Brunswick Public Library multiple days…read moreeach week, I truly appreciate having a public space dedicated to learning. Unfortunately, my experience over the past several weeks has become increasingly frustrating. The biggest issue is that children are running, yelling, and playing throughout the entire library--not just in the children's section. The noise level has become so disruptive that it is often difficult for my students to focus during tutoring sessions. Instead of the quiet environment a library is meant to provide, it frequently feels chaotic. I am also concerned about safety. I have personally witnessed children running through the aisles, playing tag, climbing on bookshelves, screaming at the top of their lungs, and even walking around without shoes. These behaviors create safety risks not only for the children but for other patrons as well. I understand that libraries are community spaces and that children are welcome. However, there still needs to be reasonable supervision and enforcement of library rules so everyone can enjoy the space. Students, tutors, remote workers, and many others rely on the library as a quiet place to study and work. I hope the library can take steps to address these concerns and restore the calm, safe environment that so many members of the community depend on.

    Well-endowed and well-furnished, EBPL has all of the library essentials--and then some:…read more *In-person passport services from an authorized passport application acceptance facility ($25 agency execution fee charged by EBPL in addition to renewal fee to the US DOS) *Café area with snack and coffee vending machines, magazines, and newspapers *Nintendo DS and PS3 games, anime DVDs, English-language graphic novels (trade paperback), audiobooks, and music CDs for rental *Foreign language books and newspapers *Youth services area with booth seating, power outlets, and computers *Dedicated rooms for quiet study, children's programming, and special events *Two self-service checkout stations I'm not terribly impressed with the old, tiled, poorly ventilated two-stall restrooms by the mystery section and the conference rooms. The parking lot at the main entrance has about 60 non-handicapped, non-temporary parking spaces, but is usually full in the afternoons and evenings. Overflow parking is available on the other side of the senior center and town hall, which are both in the same complex. Be prepared to yield to children, elderly pedestrians, and occasionally police cars.

    Best library I've ever been to. I never thought I'd be Duke of a library, and I'll bet no teacher I…read moreever had did either. They get some fairly new movies in circulation and they have tons of video games for all systems. What's crazy is that video games are like $2 for 2 weeks and movies are like a buck each for a week. Don't quote me on those prices, but it's cheap. Makes you wonder why people still rent from Blockbuster and Independent video stores... Either way I always see those sometimes hard sometimes soft things ...tacos? No, I think it's something with a B. I see a TON of them on my way to the games/movies. I picked one up once and while the cover had me fooled into thinking it was something delicious it turns out they aren't edible.

    I cannot rave enough about this library. They are amazing to the community as they offer so much…read more Let us first address how modern and elegant this library looks. The clean aesthetics and openness give you a sense of calm and a desire to be there, whether for studying or taking classes. They have book clubs and instructional classes ranging from hands-on cooking to needlework. They offer to take U.S. passport photos. They have so much to offer besides wonderful books. This lending library sources tools (yes, you read this correctly), museum passes, videos, eBooks, eAudio, and other resources beyond just books. You can even exchange clippings for plants. Am I fan girling here? You betcha!

English literature they have stopped accepting books donation, and foreign language literatures, they would have to check, but most likely they won't accept. Be sure the foreign language books are educational and in mint condition. Inside the library was smaller than I thought, but it was cozy in each floor. Although the library is overall very quiet, I couldn't find an empty study room, during Summer vacation, and in the morning! Glad to see our younger generations still read and study!! Not only no study room available, but all seatings are occupied. Mix feeling ... I wonder how's it like during weekends. I decided to walk around before I left the library. There was an undone puzzles spread on the public table. Very cute and welcoming. The staffs are friendly and attentive.

Though it's a smaller library compared to East Brunswick, there is something for everyone. They have a decent children's section with a small play and game area, computers for the patrons to use, a quiet study room, young adult section, tons of DVDs, games, books on cds, magazines, and of course books! Sometimes I like coming here and perusing the book titles for a good read. They even have foreign language books and movies. There is a lot of seating, tables, and places to study or get your work done. The staff is helpful and nice. If you are a member of another library in Middlesex county, you can have other books or items shipped to this library and pick it up when it arrives. Super convenient! If you need to print something in color, it costs $.25! Such a good deal! Black & white are $.10 each. If you're not a fan of rambunctious tweens, I would avoid going here between 3-4PM during the weekdays. Most kids just don't know how to act in libraries. Love this place and am thankful for all they do for the community.
