The New Jersey State Library has three bureaus: the Library Development Bureau (LDB), the NJ State Library Talking Book & Braille Center (TBBC) and the State Library Information Center (SLIC). The State Library connects people with information through its service to libraries, government and people with special needs.

JerseyCat is New Jersey's statewide virtual catalog and interlibrary loan system. It is provided to all libraries within the State of New Jersey by the New Jersey State Library and the Regional Library Coopertives. There is no charge to the local library for the service. It provides all New Jersey residents and library staff with real-time searching capabilities for New Jersey's Z39.50 compliant library catalog.

LearningExpress Job & Career Accelerator™ provides personalized, step-by-step job search assistance—from exploring and matching suitable occupations from over 1,000 detailed occupation profiles to finding available jobs from a database of over 5 million up-to-date job postings.

Making eContent available in libraries is increasingly challenging. It is difficult for the public to understand why their local library does not have the eBook they want to read, or why they have so few copies. To assist libraries in addressing these questions the New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) is pleased to announce When it Comes to eBooks, there's NOT eNOUGH! This public awareness campaign, based on a similar campaign begun by the Pikes Peak Library District in Colorado, is focused on explaining to the public why it is difficult and costly for libraries to provide eContent.

Pirate School!

The Carteret Free Public Library Hosts:

Pirate School!

Follow Your Compass

Summer Reading Program Kick-Off!!

Pirate School! Follow Your Compass satisfies children’s universal curiosity about

the briny buccaneers of yore, while boosting self-esteem and pro-social skills in

subtle ways. Kids are prompted to “stand up for their mates” and “follow their

hearts” to ultimately be more empathetic, responsible, and courageous corsairs.

The program engages the audience in boisterous competitions while cannons

boom, skulls talk, cutlasses drop, bubbles pop, and pets run amok.
