Barnegat Township Library

A great place to get a book. Lots of activities to choose from. The library also carries DVD's featuring brand new movies.

I am a retired teacher that lives in Barnegat and have always loved going to the Barnegat Library. Today, I decided to introduce my 2 year old granddaughter to the library and let her pick out books for the first time. She was excited and chose a book before running to the colorful table for toddlers. She just wanted to sit at the kid table.

Great library and fun events!

It's been a while since I visited a county library. My 6 year old was part of a group that visited and checked out material. I was surprised how much noise they made - and was expecting to hear shhhushes.. staff was attentive, and my 6 year old son found his desired books and dvds.

From the parking lot to the restrooms the entire facility is ALWAYS immaculate. You effortlessly step foot in through the automatic sliding glass doors straight into a smile & a 'how you doing' from one of the many delightful clerks. The ENTiRE staff is very friendly, eager to help & answers any & all of mine or my kids' inquiries. NEVER too crowded which is how i like it , ALWAYS multiple computers open & available for immediate use. One last thing, they are a VERY family friendly library as well. NEVER a complaint or "dirty look" when i have my 3 young children with me from ages 2 to 8 who seem to get even louder when their in the 'silent' library. Overall it is definitely my favorite library in ocean county, i frequent the library 2 - 3 times a week at least & will go out of my way to
