Using Other Libraries

Borrow at Other Libraries

You may request that any item in the catalog be delivered to New Providence for you by clicking Place Hold. Be aware that some MAIN libraries may not permit items in some collections to be sent to another library for pickup.

You may also use your New Providence library card in person at many libraries in New Jersey, listed below. 

  • Take your library card and photo ID with you. 
  • Check the expiration date on your card. If expired, it must be renewed at NPML before visiting the other library.
  • Pay any fines/ fees on your account and return overdue books before visiting the other library.
  • Borrowing restrictions may apply at the other library.
  • If the library is not part of MAIN Library Alliance, you will need to return borrowed items to that library, not NPML.
  • Call ahead to see if they can hold the item you are interested in at the desk.

Your Library is the place to be!

We love seeing so many people in our thriving New Providence community using the Library. Our numbers have never been higher! Whether you come to the library to sit and read, stay and work, attend programs, discuss great books, listen to author talks, meet with special interest groups, borrow materials, or shop in our bookstore, we love seeing you here!

It is clear that our library provides so many things for different groups of people. We appreciate every child, student, teen, adult, and senior who comes through our door and becomes part of our library family. We hope you'll join us!
