Pardon Our Appearance!

Over the next few weeks, the Sayreville Library will be finishing the construction on our meeting room. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the process. There may still be days when, for safety, we'll have to limit access to the children's room. We can't wait to open this new space up to great presentations, classes, clubs, and community events - we promise, this will be worth it!
