Visiting the Library

The Library is located at 1927 Bartle Avenue, Scotch Plains, 07076. View us on a map and get directions.

For community safety, masks are recommended.
We do not currently have a copy machine, scanner or fax machine.
A meeting room on our lower level is available for public use. The policies and application for use are available here.

Please return books, DVDs and CDs to the outside book drop. This is a Smart Bin that will automatically check in most Scotch Plains items as they are dropped into the bin.
- Please be sure that all DVD and CD cases are securely closed; any cases that cannot be closed, or other damaged items, should be brought inside and given directly to library staff.
- Other items (such as tech devices and Health Literacy Kits) must be brought inside to return.
- We ask that you continue to return Fanwood items to the Fanwood Memorial Library.

In partnership with the Scotch Plains Department of Parks and Recreation, the Library offers a weekly service to deliver and return materials to and from the Library.
This program is available for Scotch Plains residents who are 55 and over or living with a disability.
All participants must first register with the SP Recreation Department by calling 908-322-6700 x223.
Delivery can include books (regular and large print), DVDs, and audiobooks. Registered participants can call the Library to request materials or to apply for a library card.
Deliveries and returns are scheduled for Wednesdays.

PrinterOn is a service that allows you to upload a document, or forward an email, which can then be released from the Library’s printer without using our public computers, minimizing your time inside.

Scotch Plains resident cardholders ages 18 and up may borrow Chromebooks and mobile hotspots. These must be borrowed at returned at the Adult Services desk.
Uses include accessing the Library’s digital resources and conducting telehealth appointments, including COVID-19 testing offered through the State of New Jersey.
