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 small faxes. We charge $1.00 per page. Inquire at the desk..
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.
