Our dedicated team deeply misses the bustling atmosphere of the Bound Brook branch and, most importantly, interacting with our residents. In our pursuit to serve you better, we're exploring new avenues to connect. By setting up shop in parks and other community hubs, we're ensuring that the heartbeat of the Library remains supportive of the daily lives of our Library customers."
