Serving the second-largest city in New Jersey and located on the Hudson River across from lower Manhattan, the Jersey City Free Public Library system consists of Priscilla Gardner Main Library, nine Branches, and a Bookmobile, dedicated to providing resources and programming that serve the educational, informational, and recreational needs of the truly multicultural population of Jersey City.
We serve the Jersey City community by providing access to diversified printed, audiovisual, and electronic resources that help Jersey City residents:
- address their educational goals;
- find answers on a broad array of subjects;
- understand their own culture and the cultures of others;
- locate and evaluate information;
- satisfy their interest and need for current popular materials and topics.
We love our work, but we can't do it alone!
