Pillar Libraries

We are proud members of PILLAR (Partners in Libraries, Lending, and Resources).

PILLAR is a nonprofit network of over 60 public libraries located in Essex, Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren Counties. The PILLAR mission is to lead and encourage collaboration, resource sharing, staff development and innovation by providing high-quality, cost-effective shared services to member libraries for their communities, fostering the exchange of ideas and experiences within our network. As a member of PILLAR, our patrons have access to over 3.1 million physical and digital items, including but not limited to eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music, games, and of course, books. Our library also participates in the NJ Open Borrowing program through PILLAR, enabling patrons to borrow materials in-person from participating libraries outside of our service area.

PILLAR maintains our libraries’ computer systems and hosts a system-wide mobile app for patrons. The PILLAR commitment to cutting-edge technology inspires our patrons to "Listen, Read and Learn," enriching their lives. The partnership and cooperation of PILLAR members and supporters make this all possible.
