Reviews of Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (Library)

Tai Gao

I take my teens weekly. We love it. Staff has been super about finding unusual books for our homeschool curriculum.

Taline Fontana

I definitely love this library, not only for the books, but also the activities and the staff. The quiet study room is my favorite.

I definitely love this library, not only for the books, but also the activities and the staff. I love the summer reading program because it is a great way to encourage people to read over the summer. Another reason I love the library is that if you put a book on hold, you get a notification when it's ready. I love this system and I hope you do too. The app on my phone helps so much!!! One thing the library can improve is their website. This is because it is a hard to find what I'm looking for on the website. Other than that I LOVE this library!

I love this library! Good selection of books, cds, dvds...just about everything that you can find in a library and more! Their ongoing booksale always has a treasure waiting to be found, and everyone is so friendly there. Their free museum passes are also such a wonderful treat. They do go fast, especially in the summer, so make sure to reserve them in advance. And I love the talks and lectures they have. This is probably the best library I've been to so far. Love that place!!

It is a very good library, has all the book. It is divided into sections, like quiet study room, discussion area , sound proof room etc and that is the best part. I love visiting here.

Richeona Reeves

The most quiet public library I found in the Middlesex County area( yes I tried several) with comfortable seats. Only 2 recommendations: the quiet area be in a room because patrons including some of the librarians do not whisper. There were only few places to plug my laptop so having more outlets especially for the quiet area.

New library catalog system changed. hard to use .and very confusing prior system was very good.. to many changes that are bad, Library has a loud conversational area that if you come to library for quiet your not going to get it there. There are no librarians to help you on sundays so if you need help or have questions you are left to getting no help. and computers are old and completely outdated!

Love this place!

Great staff; when they did not have a book, they ordered it. Saved a lot borrowing rather than buying books and music cds.

Pavel Enick

Nice setup. Very kid friendly. My daughter loves the play area and the evening kids book readings. They have lots of good activities that are well thought out. I took off 1 star because they have a strict rule that if theres a little rip in a single page, you have to buy the whole $25 hardcover book. I understand if its destroyed, but they take it a bit far. We're talking a 1/2 inch rip on a single page. Other than that its a great library.

Rakesh Ahuja

Very nice & big library! Lots of reference material, magazines and books to choose from and very helpful staff. Lots of kids books and a nice toddler area too. The website has additional resources and free family passes to reserve for museums in the NY / NJ area - that pretty cool!

Irene James

Superb library with beautiful location. The staff was really nice. The place was very positive and calm. All the stuff was well maintained and displayed. The seats were comfortable enough. Overall nice library.

Donnella tilery

I've been going to this library for 5 years now. They have excellent kids programs and also good for entrepreneurs to work quietly = plenty of computers and space. Good hours - they are open until 9pm most days.

Pradeep Kumrawat

It has so much varieties of books to choose from and it is very big

Nish Kamthan

Excellent library with very helpful staff. Great online system to put books on hold, and they can get them for you quickly from any library in the network.

Kathryn P. Schmitt

if i put a book on hold and it's at another branch, they are able to get the book to the bridgewater branch very quickly. i like the library, and the employees are quite helpful!

Daniel Dominguez

It's a library, a central hub for publicly supported distribution of materials for education and entertainment. It's a media and event center for the neighborhood. Speakers and education courses are provided regularly at no additional cost. For the love of God, do not give it anything other than five stars

Roland Reinhart

If you are a small business owner, there are many free resources to take advantage of. You can borrow sales and marketing books, listen to audio book versions (e.g., Libby), use their business research databases (e.g., ReferenceUSA), use free access to video tutorial courses (Lynda.com), and reserve their meeting rooms.

Brian Auger

Enormous selection of books, movies and music. Check out the Lucky Day collection for current NYT bestsellers. Check their website for the many options for downloadable content.

Lexi George

Very nice

Peng Hsu

The library provides a lot useful programs not just for lending books or dvd. My friend hold her painting exhibition there. Some friends are currently participating US Citizens classes there... it's really a good treasure for all ages..

Jana Pra

They have a fantastic collection and I just love spending time here.

Kevin Abbaszadeh

It is amazing! The activities, the selection of books, and the staff! Convenience is unbelievable!

Marcie Fiorentino

Was at the Bridgewater Library today. It is so well organized and the people are so helpful and attentive. Clearly evidence of a well run organization!
