If you lose your library card, contact the library immediately so that it may be blocked from further use. Then go to any branch to apply for a replacement card. The replacement card fee is $1.00.
Returning books
All circulating materials may be returned to any branch or System bookdrop.

Reference
Reference Service is provided in all libraries in the Sussex County Library System. Staff may be contacted by phone or via e-mail. Reference staff are available to assist with questions as well as initial training on the use of the Library System's databases. Reference Librarians may also serve as proctors. Please review the guidelines prior to making a proctoring request.
Interlibrary Loan
We don't have it in the Sussex County Library System? You can request books from almost anywhere in the state of New Jersey using JerseyCat and have them delivered to your Sussex County Library if you have a valid Library card. It is a somewhat complicated process, so please follow the instructions carefully.
Try Interlibrary Loan using JerseyCat.
If you are unable to find what you need after searching JerseyCat, please complete our Interlibrary Loan Form, available at any of the Sussex County Libraries.
