Taking Out Books

Yes! Several of our high school media centers have fiction books that can be signed out by students (and staff).*

More information:

• Colts Neck, Freehold Township, Marlboro High School, and Howell High Schools have organized fiction book sections, organized by authors' last names. 

  • Books can be signed out at the circulation desk in the binder. Please write legibly your first and last name and the book that you are taking out.

  • Return the book to the labeled return slot or box at the circulation desk when you are done.

• Freehold Boro High School's media center is still being organized and books are not ready to be borrowed yet but will be in September.

• Manalapan High School's media center currently does not have books that can be signed out but fill out the form below to borrow one from another school if it is available.

• Don't see a book on the shelf that you would like to read? Fill out this form to request to borrow it from another school's library (if we have it) or for me to put it on my "To Order" list for next year.

*There is presently no online mechanism to search for FRHSD books. 

Yes! You can take a book out of the public library.

Live in Freehold Boro? 

• Note: The Freehold Public Library is presently under renovation and is not allowing patrons to take out physical books at the moment. However, once the library does reopen, you will be able to take out books at its location on East Main Street. However, ebooks and audio books can be borrowed now. See the information below about using the Libby app to take out ebooks and audio books.

  • You should have received a Freehold Public Library library card from your English teacher. If you didn't or you lost it, you can go to the temporary library location at 30 Mechanic Street to request one or replace yours. Be sure to tell them that you are a student of Freehold Regional HS District. 

Live in Colts Neck, Englishtown, Farmingdale, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan, or Marlboro?

• You can use the Monmouth Library County Library system to take out books and other materials BUT you must go to a branch library and sign up for a free library card; your Freehold Regional HS District database login does NOT allow you to take out physical books or use their ebook & audio book services described below.

  • You can get a library card at any Branch Location's (Colts Neck, Howell, Manalapan, or Marlboro) circulation desk by completing a registration form. 

    • Note: The Manalapan branch is temporarily closed for renovations.

  • The library requires identification that includes your name and street address, preferably a current valid driver’s license. New residents can bring a lease, a recent utility bill, etc.

  • A resident parent or legal guardian must register children of any age under 17 for a youth card.
