Stella Libraries

We're having a system upgrade tonight, March 10th, starting at 9PM! During this time a number of services will be temporarily unavailable, including: Libby, Hoopla, and other e-content, SmartPay, online databases and the STELLA mobile app. We'll see you after the upgrade!

Starting things off in 2026 with the Grand Re-Opening of Edison Public Library’s main branch! (Though they managed to renovate without fully closing!) They have new study rooms, state of the art meeting and program rooms with hybrid/broadcast technology, new lighting throughout and an amazing automated material return system! Your items get checked in the moment you put them in the return slot! Congratulations Edison, we can’t wait to see what else 2026 brings!

A beautiful day for a ribbon cutting. Congratulations Union Twp on your gorgeous new building! Be sure to stop by and check it out!
