About the Library

The Library provides both regular and large print books, magazines and newspapers, audio cassettes, videos, reference services, and library programs for residents.  The library currently owns over 57,000 volumes, subscribes to 115 magazines, and provides access to more than 40 premium online databases.  Please contact our staff if you have any questions or comments.

Our lending capacity is greatly expanded by our membership in the Morris Automated Information Network (M.A.I.N.).  M.A.I.N. is a county-wide consortium of 36 libraries. 

The library has 15 public workstations with internet access.  In addition, the library has wireless access. Most of our online databases are available at all stations.  Access to our resources, including our catalog and databases, is available to all library card holders from their homes via their own internet connections.

Closed-captioned cable TV is available at the library, courtesy of Patriot Media and the Friends of the Library . We feature the following channels:

  • The Weather Channel
  • CNBC Stock Quotes
  • CNN

Home-Bound, Disabled or Lack Transportation?

In July 2007, the Long Hill Senior Bus expanded its service and began stopping at the Library on Monday and Friday mornings, after dropping people off at the Senior Center. Contact Grace at 908-604-2223 (at least 2 days in advance) to take advantage of this terrific service.

We also recommend the Libraries by Mail service of the Morris County Library.  It is free to qualifying residents of Morris County.  The Library will fill your request and mail the titles to you, with a prepaid return envelope.

We sell books, paperbacks, magazines and video tapes that no longer fit the needs of our collection, or that are donated, but are inappropriate for our collection. Prices are modest. These books are displayed on book carts near the display cabinets and in the lobby.

You may use our fax machine to send your faxes. We charge $2.00 for the first page and $1.00 for each additional page. Inquire at the desk. No international faxes, except for Canada.

The Friends of the Library is a group of volunteers whose purpose is to support the Long Hill Township Public Library. The Friends have, in the past, acquired funds to purchase many computer hardware items for use in the library. Read more about the Friends of the Library, and join them.

The Long Hill Township Historical Society maintains its collection of maps, books, photographs, audio tapes, and artifacts, in the Training Room at the Library. Members of the Society are available in the Library every Wednesday between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to assist interested community members. A list of the holdings is on file at the Library, but this material is NOT catalogued in the Library's catalog system.

We take our obligations about privacy, security and protection of children seriously.
