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.

Rutgers has many libraries (math, science), so it's important to keep in mind if you are doing research that it's collections pertain to the arts/humanities/social sciences. The collections are quite extensive, 3 stack floors, a separate floor for government documents, and another for periodicals. As a historian, I've been very happy with the history collection. If you are a student, if there is a book they do not have, you can request it from another library through inter library loan and they are quite fast! The basement contains Alex's special collections. When I was getting my masters I found them quite useful and the staff both friendly and knowledgeable. They have limited hours, do check the website. On the second floor is the East Asian Library. I'm not familiar with that collection for all the books are written in Chinese or Japanese, but I've heard it has some rare books and the head librarian is an expert. As far as places to study, there are three reading rooms with tables, outlets, and comfy chairs. Artwork is all along the walls and there are plenty of windows thst brighten the room. There is also a graduate reading room. The microfilm readers are also in the basement, as well as scanners and copy services. The circulation desk and access services staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I worked there as an undergraduate and made life long friends with the staff. I popped in recently to do research for my dissertation while home in New Jersey and they recognized me immediately. Is was like I never left. Rose, Jillian, Brian, Megan, Will, Rob are all wonderful people. What's really great about Alexander is that it is public. You can walk in and look at the collections or use selected computers with a guest ID and password. You just can't take the books out of the library LOL! Alexander does offer guest and alumni borrowing, which I think is great. As an alumni, you can get a library card and check out I think up to 25 books at a time. You can also obtain a guest borrowing membership, by paying a certain fee per year. I can't recall the fee of the top of my head, but it's not bad. Parking is annoying. Alexander Library is located in New Brunswick on college avenue. Your best bet is meter parking, where you can park up to 8 hours. There is a parking deck if you are a student or employee with the correct parking pass... but without it I would not pa rk there. Ticket city! I would knock the library down a star for parking but it's just the nature of the city and a public university. This is a great library. Enjoy.

I don't like how formal the library is... it's like why don't you just go by Alex?…read more Seriously this isn't a bad place to study but the parking isn't too good in the area. It got much worse when the meters got removed to put a bike line that it seems rarely gets used. I think the library on Busch and the one on Livingston are much better with easier parking.

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 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.

If you look closely at the ten highest paid public servants in New Jersey, you'd see the Governor,…read moretwo or three train conductors from NJ Transit who have mastered the art of overtime and a random assortment of current and former head football coaches from Rutgers University's not so recent past. In 2014 we were told that Rutgers had to join the Big 10 Athletic Conference to bring our state funded University to national prominence and generate hundreds of millions in incremental revenue that would fund not only athletics but their various academic missions as well. "Win/Win" went the PR-driven pornography. Not so fast. A state audit has revealed that since Rutgers joined the Big 10 in 2014, the athletic department has hemorrhaged more than a half billion dollars. So much for the absurd talking points and rationale that got everyone hot and bothered 12 years ago. Forget grading in a curve, Rutgers and their cheerleader fan boys in Trenton get a well deserved F. I won't even even embarrass them further by pointing out their 52-93 won/loss record since 2014.

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.
