New! Two Towns Library Card “Student Stickers”

Maplewood and South Orange Libraries are pleased to announce a new cooperative effort that will benefit students in the SOMa school district. All students in grades K-12 are now entitled to borrow materials from both the Maplewood and South Orange Public Libraries. This initiative effectively doubles the amount of library material available to them to borrow. When students get a library card from their home library, they can also ask for a Student Sticker, which allows them to borrow in both towns. If they already have a card, they’ll need to pay any existing fines before they can get a Sticker. Student Stickers can be obtained at any time throughout the year, and will need to be renewed yearly. Each library has its own rules as to what materials can borrowed with the Sticker. For more information, contact South Orange Library or Maplewood Library
