Our Consortium

What does STELLA (formerly Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium) offer us?

Why aren’t we part of the Monmouth County Library System?

Long Branch Public Library is an independent library and part of the STELLA Consortium. Remaining independent allows us to have full control over the materials we purchase and the award-winning programs and services we offer. As part of the STELLA consortium, our cardholders can access 3.5 million items, 43 member libraries and over 50 locations!
