The parenting collection of the South Brunswick Public Library for caregivers of infants and children is housed in the Children’s Department. It is designed to assist parents during the child rearing years. The emphasis is on special topics such as new baby, toilet training, child health, activities for children, standardized tests, education, discipline, and parenting for children with special needs.
From time to time the Library also offers Parenting Workshops and Seminars.

Are you missing storytime? We certainly are, but you don’t have to!
