Welcome to the Hightstown
Memorial Branch!
The Hightstown Memorial
Branch is a unique member of the Library System because of its history, location
and resources.
The Hightstown Memorial
Branch began as a small municipal library in 1921. The present building was
constructed in 1954 and was dedicated as a war memorial to veterans of our
community. The library then became a branch of the Mercer County Library in 1969
and has been expanded in 1975 and 1997.
The Hightstown Memorial
Branch is the only branch that hosts an attractive reading room that overlooks
the tranquil waters of Peddie Lake. We are also the only branch in the system
that has a fireplace in the main room.
We have eight computers
available to the public for word processing and Internet searching. In addition
to our books, magazines, newspapers, and local newspapers on microfilm, we have
a large collection of DVDs--with a special emphasis on children’s educational
videos. We also have music CDs, CD-ROMs, and books on
CD. Our Spanish collection also makes us a unique member of the Library System.
We specialize in quality
children’s programming, bestsellers for our patrons, and computer instruction.
We are very grateful for the new laptop computers recently donated by friends of
our library through the Hightstown Library Association.
Come visit our location today and enjoy our relaxed cozy
atmosphere.
