Parking

The New Brunswick Parking Authority operates a metered* parking lot adjacent to the library and there is also metered on-street parking. Metered parking is in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

*As of 10/10/2020: the Parking Authority has partnered with a pay-by-phone service, Parkmobile, as a way to meet customers’ requests for contactless solutions. Customers can easily download the ParkMobile app and make payment that way, as well as extend time without having to physically return and put more money in the meter. Signs have been installed to replace meters. If you do not have the app, you can call the 800 number on the sign and pay over the phone.
     According to the ParkMobile app, this is how much parking costs in this lot:
The minimum time you can pay for is 10 minutes, which is $0.85; however, half an hour costs $1.35. Each additional half hour costs one dollar more (one hour = $2.35, 1.5 hours = $3.35, 2 hours is $4.35). There is a maximum of 2 hours of parking in this lot, which is zone #6547 (use this when the app asks for spot number).

The parking lot is located off of Welton Street: It is behind and on the right side of the library when facing the building. If you turn onto Welton Street from Livingston Avenue, take your second left into the parking lot.

On days when there is limited parking available at the library, you may want to use this Parking Locator tool to find nearby parking garages.

Henry Guest House

The Henry Guest House is located next to the library building, on the Morris Street side (the opposite side from the parking lot). Its street address is 58 Livingston Avenue. The Henry Guest House is used as a meeting space when conditions allow; see more at this page.
