The Pennington Public Library was founded in 1876 to provide reading material to the community. For over 100 years the Library has fulfilled that mission. In 1995, the Library moved to its present location in the New Borough Hall. Membership is free to all residents of Pennington Borough, Hopewell Township and owners and employees of businesses in Pennington. For all others, there is a membership fee of $10 per year.
Fines
The fine for all materials except video tapes is $0.05 per day that the Library is open. (The Book drop is always available.) The fine for video tapes is $1 per day. Videos and Recorded Books may not be placed in the Book Drop.
Book Sales
