Please be aware that on Wednesday, January 27, 2021, the Sayreville Library’s digital magazine collection will be transferred from RBDigital to our Overdrive service, The transfer is a result of Overdrive’s acquisition of RBDigital last year. Despite this change, all of the same digital magazines you have enjoyed browsing and borrowing in the RBdigital app will be available in the Libby app and via the eLibraryNJ Overdrive website. Frequently Asked Questions: Will magazines count toward my Overdrive checkout limits? No. Magazines will not count toward your ebook and audiobook checkout limits.

Will I be able to access magazine issues I previously borrowed via RBdigital? Yes.

COVID Minors Restrictions
Due to COVID restrictions, the Library will not admit unaccompanied minors, at any time, until further notice. Further, once in-person classes resume, parents may not pick up students in the library parking lot, as this creates crowds at the entrance to the library, and poses a health risk to the public. Parents may pick up their children only at the schools or Burke’s Park. You may read the complete policy HERE.
