The staff were so friendly and the selection of books is extensive. On top of this, the membership gives you free access to services on high-rating apps to new languages, listen to audiobooks and read e-books. Love it!

Questions & Answers

I haven't been to this library for a very long time since I was in the 2nd grade and now I just recently graduated from college. Anyways, does this library offer desks to study? Do they have quiet study rooms where I can peacefully study for adults?

Both the NJ Room in the 3rd floor and our Information Services department in the 2nd floor have tables/desks that you can use for study purposes.

You should create an account using code on your library card. They will send you an email on a registered email ID. After that you should be able to see and renew books you have borrowed.

Do you have private rooms for doing homework in a group Do you have to be a member of Jersey City Library to use such a room? /we have library cards to Bayonne Public Library

Unfortunately, we do not have a study room. Our Info Services, NJ Room and Criolla Departments are generally used by our patrons for studying. I would recommend using the tables at one of the departments instead.

Who is in charge of the building?

For research on Jersey City farms in the late 1800s (yes many farmers had lots in what is now the city), I would like to know when the Historic Downtown Jersey City Farmers' Market, now at Grove Street and Path Plaza. Any ideas where I could find?
