The South Plainfield Public Library is a member of STELLA (Sharing and Technology Enhancing Local Library Access), formerly LMxAC. Our online catalog allows you to request items directly from any member library, pick them up in South Plainfield, and return them to any member library. You can also use your South Plainfield library card at more than 30 STELLA member libraries in Middlesex, Union, and Monmouth Counties. You can download a free mobile app UPDATED! that will let you check on your account, browse the library catalog and place holds from your phone. You can also pay fines with a credit card.
