Thank you for your interest in collaborating with the Piscataway Public Library to serve our community. Unfortunately, you will not be considered as a Piscataway Library presenter unless you have a NJ Business Registration Certificate!  In order for the library to hire you as a third party vendor, we will need:

• An invoice with program name, date of performance, fee, and business mailing address (please do not include a drafting date on the invoice).
• W-9
• NJ Business Registration Certificate (more info found here).

Please send all 3 items, in advance, to complete the booking so we can issue payment. If all 3 documents are not received 1 week in advance of the performance date, the performance will, unfortunately, be canceled. Payment will be processed by the Piscataway Township and will be mailed to the business address provided 2-3 weeks after the completion of the program. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we cannot pay vendors in advance or issue payment on the date of the performance.

Once we receive the above documents, we can lock in the booking and move forward with advertising the event.
