Swedesboro Public Library is one of the oldest libraries in the state of New Jersey,and was established in 1783. The library was originally housed in the Borough Hall and was incorporated in 1937. It has occupied a 1920s bank building since 1944 and has since been expanded and renovated in order to save the historic structure from demolition. After the new renovations from the Compass Architectural Design and $1.2 million later, new amenities include a large community meeting room, an accessible entrance, a modern HVAC system, plenty of windows and a total of 3,000 sq. ft. expansion of open space. Through the changes the original hand-crafted circulation desk was able to be salvaged and now stands at the center of the old and new spaces.
