Find Something

• Can I find out what materials are available in other libraries in NJ?
   

  As a resident of Union County, you are entitled to borrow items in most libraries in Union and Middlesex counties with your Springfield card.  Follow the link to MURAL Borrowing from Programs & Services and be sure to call libraries to find out if there are any specific borrowing restrictions.

  If the item is not available in these libraries, head to the JerseyCat link to search most libraries in New Jersey.  If you find something here, then you can place an InterLibrary Loan.  Be sure to read the guidelines first.
