Fanwood Residents
Please visit the library to sign up for a library card.
Any resident of Fanwood aged three and older may apply for a free Library card. Children under 14 receive a Children’s Library Card and are required to have a parent or guardian also be a Library card holder. Proof of Fanwood residence is required for all Adult Library Cards.
Proof of residence may be a driver’s license, lease agreement, tax bill or utility bill with your name and address. SPF High School students can use their School ID as proof of residence. Students do not have to switch to an Adult Library Card after age 14 unless they want to.
Cards are issued for three years. After three years, cards expire until cardholders reconfirm their address and phone number.
Fanwood Memorial Library is a member of STELLA and Middlesex Union Reciprocal Associated Libraries (M.U.R.A.L.) and Fanwood cardholders in good standing have borrowing privileges at M.U.R.A.L. and STELLA libraries.
