What's New at the Library

    

  • The Main Library and Allwood Branch will be closed on Saturday, May 25 and Monday, May 27 for Memorial Day.
  • Your source for free e-books has a new look!
    DigitalLibraryNJ
    , your source for free downloadable e-books and audiobooks, has a new design that's easier and more fun to use.  Click here or use the link on our Find Titles tab above to begin.  You can browse genres or search for specific titles.  The Help button provides a list of compatible devices and step-by-step instructions - even videos! - on how to get started and checkout materials.  Anyone can browse, but you will need to have your library card number handy for borrowing and placing holds.
  • Visit our Book Nook!
    The Book Nook at the Main Library - and its annex at the Allwood Branch - are wonderful resources for obtaining used books, audiobooks, music and movies at very low prices. The Book Nook is staffed by volunteers and proceeds from sales help support Library programs and services.  If you have any books or other materials in very good condition that you would like to donate, drop them off at the front desk of either library location.
  • Donations through PayPal
    The Library now offers the convenience of making donations through PayPal!  Instructions can be found on the 'Support Us - Give to the Library' link, or click directly on the PayPal icon:

  • Download free music through alt freegal
    Freegal is a free music downloading service providing popular MP3 music for Clifton Library patrons. Click on the freegal button to the right or the banner below to begin. You will need to have your Clifton Library card number and PIN to log in.  Have fun searching by artist, title or genre!
  • Regarding e-books...
    The Library fields many questions each week regarding e-books.  Besides "How do I download?", the next most-asked questions are along the lines of "Why don't you provide more titles?" or "Why don't you provide more copies of a certain title?"  Despite libraries' efforts to be involved in the e-book evolution, we are at the mercy of publishers regarding purchasing rights.  You can help by participating in a campaign that aims to get the voice of library patrons who use e-readers heard by publishers.  Please visit the New Jersey Library Association website at http://savemynjlibrary.org/notenoughebooks for more information and to find out how you can make yourself heard.
  • POLICY CHANGE
    As of April 2, 2012, refunds are no longer issued on lost and paid items.  See a staff member at the circulation desk with questions.
