The Ocean County Library system is quickly becoming
recognized as one of the finest in the nation. Bayville is fortunate to have a local branch which opens up endless
possibilities for young and old alike. Though we feature primarily activities for children, be sure to check the branch
calendar for all events. And don't forget events scheduled at other nearby branches. There something for everyone
