The Long Branch Free Public Library's mission is to provide the diverse population we serve with popular books and materials, public access to technology and computers, basic literacy instruction, and a community center for lifelong learning.

Long Branch Free Public Library is dedicated to providing its community with the resources and support it needs to flourish. As part of our endless community support, we have in place a professional Social Worker who works within our Library.

The Social Work office at the Long Branch Free Public Library has a mission to help both the community as a whole and individuals of the community. Our goals are to provide resources, expand awareness and education, and build a diverse inclusive environment within the community.
