The Red Bank Public Library collects, maintains, and preserves materials on local history for the benefit of historians and library patrons. In our collection, we have old books, yearbooks, maps, photos, postcards, and other materials from the Red Bank area dating back well into the 19th century. We also have vertical files of periodical clippings about Red Bank, primarily, and the surrounding shore area.

The materials we preserve focus on the following:

• Red Bank Public Library

• History of the Eisner Family

• Borough of Red Bank

• Towns within close proximity of Red Bank

• Monmouth County

• New Jersey as it also covers Red Bank and Monmouth County

If you have anything that you would like to donate to the library, please contact us at redbanklibrary@gmail.com or (732) 842-0690. Our Local History Collection is currently housed on the main floor. Our reference librarians are always ready to assist.

Aside from the items available in the Library, we have a number of online resources as well. We have our self-guided Historic Walking Tour of Red Bank, links to archives of local newspapers, and the history of the family of Sigmund Eisner, in whose historic home the Red Bank Library currently resides, City Directories from 1938 to 1981, Yearbooks from both Red Bank High School and St. James High School, our historic photo collection and much more, all available at our Digitized Publications and Resources page
