The Ocean County Library connects people, builds community, and transforms lives through the power of information and the power of stories.
We are the largest system in New Jersey serving a population of 575,397 residents in the 32 municipalities that comprise our service area.

We respect, honor, and are committed to providing library services, materials, and programs for all of Ocean County’s diverse populations.
