The Red Bank Public Library, a cornerstone of the community, enhances the social, cultural, and intellectual life of the greater Red Bank area. 

Anyone who lives, works, owns property, or attends school in Red Bank (including students at Red Bank Regional High School) may register for a library card to borrow books and other items. 

The Red Bank Public Library alone has over 40,000 items in its collection -- this includes extensive Young Adult, Biography, Cookbook, Large Print, Comic Book/Graphic Novel, Manga, and Spanish-language collections. We also have hundreds of DVDs, magazines, and audiobooks, and we are regularly adding to all of these collections. On top of our own collection, library card holders have access to the 1 million titles available in the STELLA Consortium (formerly LMxAC). Resident card holders may either visit the 40+ other NJ libraries in this consortium, or put holds on books in those libraries using our online catalog and have them delivered for pick-up in Red Bank.

The Library itself also serves as an open public space for cardholders and non-cardholders alike. We have eight computers for public use in the adult section of the library, five in our YA section (including two Macs), and five in the children's section. We also have free public Wi-Fi. We have a really beautiful view of the Navesink River, so if you're looking to get some work done in a quiet place with a great view, there's no better spot in town.

Our library offers regular community programming, too -- this includes monthly Historic Red Bank Walking Tours, our award-winning "Let's Talk About Race" program, weekly story time outside the Children's Room, the Readin' on the River book club, Anime Club, dance fitness classes, used book sales, computer tutoring, the River Read open-mic reading series, musical performances, and much more. All information on programs can be found on our calendar. Anyone can attend our programs!
