About Our
Branch:
History
After being serviced by a
bookmobile for a few years, the first West Windsor Branch opened
in the former Christian Education Building of the Dutch Neck
Church in 1966. A new, expanded branch opened in the municipal
center in November 1983. However, rapid population growth and
corresponding increase in library use quickly rendered that
building inadequate and in August 1997, the branch moved to
current 23,000 square foot building. The bright and inviting new
library is equipped with state of the art technology and
comfortable furnishings to support research, quiet study and
children’s activities.
Distinctive
Aspects of the Collection
In keeping with our mission to
provide materials and services that satisfy the educational,
informational, recreational and cultural needs of our diverse
community, our Children’s Department, brightened by Ilya
Spirin’s colorful "Rain Forest Mural", houses the
largest juvenile book collection in the system, and our
International Children’s Book Collection, which encompasses 16
languages. The Chinese Language Collection has nearly 3000
books; the branch subscribes to several Chinese and Indian newspapers and
periodicals, and our rapidly expanding DVD collection includes hundreds of Hindi
and Chinese films.
Meeting
Rooms
The branch has four meeting rooms, which can accommodate groups
from 15-100 people. Non profit organizations can reserve a room on first come, first serve
basis.
Displays
Gallery space can be reserved for one month at a time for art
exhibits or displays; three display cases (locked) can be reserved-also monthly-to display
collectibles.
