The Bernards Township Library is a member of the Morris-Union Federation of Libraries, a group of nine libraries that house over 800,000 books, 50,000 media items and over 2,000 newspapers and magazines. Each library has its own specialty. Bernards has a unique focus on theater and performing arts in its collection.

It is also a member of the Raritan Valley Federation of Municipal Libraries, which means that library patrons have the option of borrowing books from Morris, Somerset, and Middlesex counties with relative ease.

In addition to its collection, Bernards hosts a full calendar of events that is regularly updated on the library's Web site.
