    Princeton Public Library image
    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..

    This historical society library is located in downtown Woodbury, next to the county courts. Their museum is next door - open by appointment. My cousin and I visited the library to search for records of the Woodbury Friends Meeting. There were about half a dozen other researchers there on a random Friday afternoon in October. Two men we researching Revolutionary War ancestors. The staff helped my cousin (who is a member) and I find the Meeting records and we were able to go through them quickly. They have a coin-operated copier available as well as scratch paper. The library is a bit crowded, but staff is friendly and efficient.
