So the next day we decided to check it out. This place blew us away. The modern architecture is stunning with different levels, and there is even a fireplace. There is also a room dedicated just for magazines with the most current issues. If you like movies the library has an impressive selection of DVDs. Even their restrooms have fancy Dyson faucets. There is a cafe as well. One of the upper levels offers a nice outdoor patio balcony. Good to see the tax dollars going back to the community. No matter how old you are, go get yourself a library card. There is a parking garage nearby. It's a great way to spend the day reading a book or two.

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.

AND, they're fun, kind, amusing people who seem to love what they do and the warm, friendly environment they've created here. I had no idea libraries could be like this. It's a new world!!

"Library" My definition: The stupid place where intelligence is stored. I started by trying to…read moredownload a book that was recommended to me by a mentor. The book exists in the Somerset County library system but they only have bound copies. Books? Isn't this 2018 when you just download it to your tablet? Why do we even need these stupid buildings in every town in the county that we pay for and receive no tax money from? I went to the main library branch in Bridgewater. Their copy is out and so is the copy from the Manville branch. It appears that a copy is available in Warren. I travel to Warren and get the number of the book. A very nice librarian with a very loud voice(for a library) directs me the book's location. I bring the book to the desk and then she needs to make a call while checking the book out. She is then tasked with the unpleasant duty of telling me that this copy can not leave the building. Of course I ask what makes this book unable to be borrowed when the others are being borrowed. No reasonable answer, it just can't leave. The librarian offers to have me called when one comes back to either Bridgewater or Manville. I thanked her but said don't bother, I can get it from Amazon for $15.00. As far as libraries go, it is clean, orderly and comfortable. The service was great but the fact that they buy hard copies of books and don't lend them, Stupid! I am convinced that library's just exist so the homeless can escape bad weather and high school students can escape their siblings.

One of my favourite parts is that the library has pretty good hours and is very conveniently located.
