Bayonne Public Library Renovation Project FAQS 
We have big news! The Bayonne Public Library has received $1 million in funding 
through the New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act to undertake a large 
renovation project. The project is expected to last until October. During this time, 
we will be remodeling the lobby and children’s room, repairing the facade, and 
replacing 1930s infrastructure. 
The 31st St. building is currently 
closed. The Story Court temporary 
branch at 16 W 4th St. is currently 
open.  
Where are library services provided? We still offer many of our services at the 
“Story Court Branch”, which is located downtown at 16 West 4th St. Our online 
content, like hoopla, Mango Languages, and our databases is still available 24/7. 
What are the hours at Story Court? We are open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 9 
pm and Friday & Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm. The library will be open on Saturdays 
through Saturday, June 17th. Beginning Saturday, June 24th, the library will be 
closed on Saturdays through Saturday, September 2nd. The library will reopen for 
normal Saturday service on Saturday, September 9th, which is the first Saturday 
after Labor Day. 
Am I still able to borrow books? Yes! Many of our physical books and all eContent 
is available. All of our newest 2022 and 2023 titles are available.  
Am I still able to return items? Yes! You can return items in person at the Story 
Court temporary branch (16 W 4th St.) OR you can place them in the return box 
outside the 31st St. handicap entrance. Our maintenance staff will be bringing 
items left in our return box down to Story Court once per day.  
Why can’t I place holds for pick-up? Our Story Court temporary branch is much 
smaller than our 31st St. location. We couldn’t possibly bring all our books with us! 
Temporarily, holds have been suspended because we don’t have access to all our 
books. 


What if I’m part of a local book club and/or I want to take part in a Beanstack 
challenge and I need books? All book club titles and/or Beanstack challenge 
recommendations will be available at the temporary location.

that the library is open.

location.

location. 
Am I able to sit and study? Yes! There is space available for sitting and studying in 
both locations. 
Am I able to charge my devices? Yes! There are wall plugs that you can use with 
your own chargers or you can borrow USB, USB-C, and Lightning chargers with your
