GSWA has a reference library for public use. If you’re curious about the history of the Great Swamp, need to do research for a school project or term paper, or just want to peruse the variety of materials (books, videos, white papers, newspaper clippings, etc.) that can be found in our library, please give us a call at 973-538-3500 to let us know when you’d like to come by. We ask that you schedule an appointment for a weekday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to make sure someone will be available to assist you.

If you have questions or comments, or would be interested in donating reference materials to the library, contact librarian@greatswamp.org.
