Give us your name, telephone number and let us know that you need a library card. We will make arrangements to send your library card to you via interoffice mail. Please note that borrowed materials must also be picked-up in person at the State Library, and returned directly to us in person or by mail.
Most books circulate for four weeks, with up to two renewals.
When the item is available, the requestor will be notified and the book held one week for pickup. Titles with reserves placed on them cannot be renewed. N.J. state employees may receive books via interoffice mail. In order to allow all borrowers greatest access to materials, the State Library cannot provide permanent or semi-permanent office collections to other state agencies or libraries. Titles needed indefinitely by an agency should be purchased by that agency rather than borrowed on long-term loan from the Library.
