Piscataway Public Library – Kennedy Branch

The Piscataway Kennedy Library is a beautiful building on the outside. Lots of windows and a skylight. Nice flowers at the entrance.
Inside it is a wonderfully laid out floor plan starting with The Children’s Room at on the right just steps inside after entry. Book selection is great and Children’s Librarian is always helpful.
Next– you will notice a glass display case filled with interesting art or artifacts from the town of Piscataway. Items are rotated on a regular basis.
To the left is a table for non perishable food items to be donated to The Fish Organization for local families in need.
Lots to look at in this area as there are also posters with upcoming events and used books, cps and magazines for sale. They also have a little room with a small selection of used items for sale.
The YA and Adult books and videos/​cds are thoughtfully presented.
Librarians are very friendly and welcoming. Circulation Desk Librarians are most helpful as well.
This is truly a Community place. I have seen LOTS of happy folks young and old alike idoing a variety of things here. Some reading the newspaper or a good book. Others I have seen have been a weekly group playing cards. Another group of knitters. Kids engaged in a host of activities as well. –I always leave feeling great.
Congratulations to the Director and his wonderful staff on this wonderful Library.

My favorite thing about this place is the quiet study room. the room has two sides that are almost entirely made of glass, so it lets a lot of light in. They have this large, glass half dome-​like structure on one side with chairs underneath. On a rainy day, curling up on one of those chairs with a good book is something close to heaven. I also really, really like the fact that I have access to their eBook collection with my membership which is pretty extensive. I haven’t really checked out their reading collection other than the travel section and the magazines, but both were pretty decent. Lastly, I love some of the displays that they have when walking in. Old school video game display with a Retro gaming day? I was really tempted to ditch school and whip out my Super Nintendo skills.
