Welcome to the Metuchen Public Library Website

Exciting Changes Coming to the Children’s Room

Beginning Monday, April 27, improvements to the Children’s Room at the Metuchen Public Library will begin.

During this time, the Children’s Room will be closed for about four weeks while work is underway. While the space is being updated, a temporary Children’s area will be located in the Lower Level Activity Room, with limited access to physical materials.

A HUGE thank you to the Friends of the Metuchen Library and our amazing community for responding to the Friends’ “Next Chapter” Fundraiser and helping make this project possible. We can’t wait to share the refreshed space with you and look forward to announcing our Grand Reopening after Memorial Day. Stay tuned!
