Water main break repaired at Shrewsbury location

SHREWSBURY, NJ – The Eastern Branch of the Monmouth County Library, 1001 Route 35 North, will reopen for business at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4.

A water main break outside of the library building caused the suspension of all operations at this county library site for a day and a half.

The Eastern Branch circulates more than 40,000 items a month. The entire library system circulates more than 3.6 million items annually with the Headquarters location in Manalapan being the busiest library in the system.

While the library was closed, library patrons were encouraged to visit other branch libraries to renew or borrow books, DVDs, CDs or other materials. Patrons can always renew lending materials online.

In addition to the Eastern Branch and Headquarters, other Monmouth County branch libraries are in Allentown, Colts Neck, Hazlet, Holmdel, Howell, Marlboro, Ocean Township, Oceanport, Wall and West Long Branch.
