LIBRARIES in New Jersey
Return to the Research Page

If you know a book name, and/or author, remember to check with your local or county library, to see if they can borrow it, through inter-library loan. Even if you do not live in New Jersey, you should ask if they can obtain the book(s) desired. This is a wonderful FREE service provided by most libraries. Some libraries have a genealogy or history section that you may find helpful, and often-times have a searchable database of their holdings.
