The Camden County Library System has a new reciprocal borrowing agreement with its counterparts in Burlington, Gloucester and Atlantic counties.
Effective this month, the agreement invites Camden County cardholders in good standing to conveniently obtain a card in the neighboring counties and access a wider selection of materials.
“Libraries are the heart of our communities, and this partnership helps to strengthen libraries throughout our area,” said Commissioner Jennifer Fleisher, liaison to the Camden County Library System. “We’re excited to offer this program to our residents, giving them access to thousands more books and resources at no additional cost.”
The agreement is much like the reciprocal borrowing pilot program launched in 2024 that included Camden and Burlington counties, along with several counties in North Jersey. Because each library’s policies differ, access to certain services like eBooks, digital streaming services, museum passes, technology items and other online resources may be restricted.
“Partnering with our neighboring counties was the clear next step in expanding access to library resources,” explained Linda Devlin, director of the Camden County system. “We know that our community’s needs do not stop at the county line, so by sharing our resources, we are able to strengthen the need for equitable access to library services to all.”
