5.0Princeton Public Library(203 reviews) - An Outstanding Bookstore Thursday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM Libraries
The Princeton Public Library is a very attractive building, inside and out. It is located in the "heart" of Princeton, not too far from Nassau Street. We easily found metered parking just a block away. Being from out-of-town, we were not there to take out any materials. Rather, I was there to look at their donated books that were for sale. And, their Bookstore is outstanding. Just outside the physical Bookstore were several tables of $1 books. Inside, books for sale are nicely displayed by subject matter. This Bookstore is terrific (I have been in many). They have a neat machine that in addition to checking out books permits you to renew materials and pay any outstanding fines.See more..

Their museum is next door - open by appointment. My cousin and I visited the library to search for records of the Woodbury Friends Meeting.
