• A: Reference books must be used in the library. Photocopies may be made for 15 cents per copy.

Q: Do you have phone books?

Q: Do you have newspapers?

• A: The library has subscriptions to a variety of local newspapers plus the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Our newspapers are held in paper form for three months to one year, depending on title. The Library retains microfilm versions of the Vineland Daily Journal (since 1876) and the New York Times (1855-2004) indefinitely. Microfilm of these two papers is available for most (but not all) issues.

Q: Can I borrow magazines?

• A: Back issues of the magazines held by the library may be borrowed.

Q: Can I research my family roots at the library?

• A: The library has a small collection of genealogy books and many records useful in genealogy research are available online and can be accessed at the library. Click here to see a list of recommended genealogy websites. Because genealogical research is very time consuming, the Reference librarians can show you how to access these online resources and what books the library owns, but they will not be able to assist you in your research. The Vineland Historical Society (856)691-1111 may hold material useful for your local genealogy research.
