SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — With COVID cases spiking across town, the South Brunswick Public Library (SBPL) has introduced changes in service model and installed no-touch doors at the entry and exit of the library building.

These changes were made to ensure safe visits. The doors can be operated by holding one’s hand in front of the operating box or button. The library has also introduced one-way flow of foot traffic at the entrance and exit.

The library and mobile branch recently ended their Browse-and-go hours. Beginning Saturday, they will reopen the contact free pickup service.
