  1. Search our online catalog for authors, titles or subjects. Unsure of what you're looking for? Take a look at our book lists (for all ages). Chosen by our staff, they cover a variety of genres. If you can't find something you want from our booklists, check out NoveList or NoveList K-8 to help you find new books based on books you've read or topics in which you are interested. You can also subscribe to one or more of our SelectReads newsletters, to get monthly reading recommendations based on your unique personal interests.
  2. Once you find an item you want in our online catalog, you can place your request directly by clicking on the 'PLACE HOLD' button in the search results, or on the item's title page in the catalog. If you prefer, you may request a hold for pickup by phone at (908) 754-7885 ext. 2, or by email at spcurbsidepickup@gmail.com (for adult materials) or spkidscurbsidepickup@gmail.com (for children's materials). Please be sure to include your full name, address & telephone number when making requests via email!
  3. Library staff will contact you either by phone or email when your materials are ready. Please make sure the library has your correct phone number and/or email address on file! PLEASE NOTE: We can fill most requests within 24 hours, but there may be some delays. Please be patient with us!
  4. Please do NOT pull up to the curb to collect your materials but instead park in one of the designated spots across from the library entrance; then call (908) 754-7885 ext. 2 to let us know you have arrived. We will ask for your last name and the last 4 digits of your telephone number. Items may be picked up during our normal open hours.
  5. Someone on our staff will come out and place your bagged order on a table on the front porch for you to pick up. For your own safety and the safety of others, please maintain a 6-foot minimum distance from library staff and other library patrons..
  6. All book drops are now open, including our new drive-up book/AV drop. The drive-up book/AV drop is located directly across from the library's entrance and provides a quick and easy way to return materials without having to get out of your car or climb the stairs.
