Printing and Scanning
We offer self-service printers for the Adult and Young Adult Sections, which allow you to pay and pick up your printouts at select print stations with your library card. Printouts are 15 cents per page for black and white and 50 cents per page for color. Our coin machines will accept coins, 1-dollar and 5-dollar bills. Our Children’s Department only offers black and white print-outs and must paid for and picked up at the circulation desk at this time.
Currently, we have flatbed scanners located in the Reference and Children’s Departments. Those wishing to scan must have a USB flash drive. Scans are $1 per page.

E-Device Gadgets
Currently, we provide Kindle Readers to be checked out for a duration of 2 weeks. Our Kindles provide a variety of genres: romance, science fiction/fantasy, classics, and young adult literature. Please contact or visit our reference department for more information.
We also have Hotspots available for check out. Call 201-330-2083 for more information.

Interlibrary Loan
If we do not have the book, video, audiobook, or magazine article that you want, we may be able to locate and borrow it from another library through a national library collection sharing program called “Interlibrary Loan” or ILL.
To use our ILL services, you can access our JerseyCat catalog. JerseyCat is a virtual catalog that allows you to search the collections of over 700 New Jersey public and college libraries at one time. You may place requests for titles that will be sent to your home library.
