Morristown & Morris Township Library

The Joint Free Public Library of the Town of Morristown and Morris Township sits at the corner of Miller Road and South Street, behind the Mayo PAC. Operated jointly under a 1971 agreement, it serves both municipalities as a single system. Library cards are free to residents of either, and reciprocal borrowing rules extend to other Morris County libraries through the MAIN consortium.

The headline collection is the North Jersey History & Genealogy Center (third floor), a regional research library covering northern New Jersey from the colonial period through the present. It draws genealogists and Revolutionary War researchers from across the state. The collection includes original Morristown newspapers on microfilm, Morris County land records, and a deep photograph archive.

Beyond the research center, the library runs the usual modern public-library programming: kids’ story times, ESL classes, book clubs, technology help, a maker space. The Auditorium on the lower level hosts lectures and the Sunday afternoon Library Concert Series.

Free parking in the adjacent lot off Miller Road; metered street parking on South Street.
