South Orange Public Library is Expanding and Modernizing

Work on the Building Connections Project is underway. The award-winning firm Andrew Berman Architect has delivered a bold yet cost-efficient design for a dynamic and sustainable library. The vision draws from years of community consultation and planning.

This project is supported by funds from the New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act, administered by the New Jersey State Library.

We are where you are!
