Photograph of the South River War Memorial Library located at 64-66 Main Street, South River. A small banner on the front of the building reads "Our 250th Anniversary, Our Loyalty to South River. Alert Flag and Banner Co. Call 201-641-0099." A row of bunting is strung across the front of the building. The right end of the bunting is split so that two pieces are hanging loose.
Both the World War I doughboy memorial and the World War II and Korean Conflict memorial are visible on the lawn in front of the building. The sign on the building reads "South River War Memorial Free Public Library."
A portion of the billboard painted on the building to the left is visible: "CL-7-0202; Second Floor; ... Estate." A Volkswagen Beetle is parked in front of the library.
