The One O

Sep 26, 2022

Elizabeth public library has to be one of the nicest places to be hanging out especially when you're a teenager I graduated in the year of 2006 I spend it between the years of 2002 and 2006 going to this Library especially when technology was not that advanced as it is of today also the staff I'm amazed that some librarians are still there yeah what I can tell is that they have devotion to what they do in this public library props for that also this library has four floors elevators work very well you have parking lot also free access for the internet in the computers as well as well taken care I guess our taxes are well distributed in this kind of public buildings good job for the city of Elizabeth by having this public building at its best for us for the public

It's a nice quiet place to read and all but the books are up in a staircase and I really have a hard time looking for the books that I need. Sometimes I don't want to ask the librarian because he always looks so busy and a face of "don't disturb". The child area on the first floor is great for kids to go and read, the staff is very friendly and open to any questions we might have. Thank you for being kind!

Yes, as long as they are not textbooks or encyclopedias. You can drop them off at any time they are open. Take as many as you can comfortably carry. (They don't want to receive multiple boxes at a time). Hope this helps

How do I order books on line for pick up?

Janet Olear | Oct 6, 2020
Christian Medina | Oct 6, 2020

If you have a library card you can go to the library website, go to "catalog search", sign in, and place a hold on the book you'd like. Whenever it's ready you should get a notification and then you can call them to make an appointment for curbside pickup.

we start making ID for people?

Mathieu Marckenley | Oct 6, 2020
Ashley Pereira | Oct 6, 2020

I believe the 15th or 16th of july they will start. You can always go on the city of elizabeth website and call the office to ask what exactly what you need to bring to the appointment.

Does the Library has the book: I CAN .

Gustavo Pineda | Oct 6, 2020
Christian Medina | Oct 6, 2020

If you're talking about the children's book, yes they do have it, at the moment. But as the other person said, if you want to know if they have a book your best bet is to search it up under "Catalog Search" on their website or give them a call.

SU | Oct 7, 2019

From the library website: In order to borrow materials from the Elizabeth Public Library, a person must have a valid Elizabeth Public Library card obtainable at any branch of the Elizabeth Public Library. Anyone who lives, works, attends school or owns property in the City of Elizabeth is entitled to a Library card. A resident Library card is valid for three years. Your address and contact information will be verified annually by Library staff. Persons eligible for a Library card must show two pieces of identification that may include a New Jersey driver’s license, a New Jersey non-driver identification card, or a passport, and one of the following: · a New Jersey motor vehicle registration · a utility bill (gas, electric or phone) · a property tax bill · a properly executed rental lease agreement with full name and address · a pre-printed check with the name and address on it · a credit card bill · a bank statement · a deed · a voter registration card
