(Voorhees Township, NJ) – The Camden County Library System is proud to announce a new reciprocal borrowing agreement with Atlantic, Burlington, and Gloucester County Library Systems starting in January 2026. This new agreement invites Camden County Library cardholders, in good standing, to sign up for a library card in neighboring counties at no cost. The reciprocal borrowing agreement offers cardholders a wider selection of materials and increased convenience while promoting the collective value of library systems across the state.
“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.”
Much like the reciprocal borrowing pilot program launched in 2024 that included Camden County and Burlington County along with several counties in North Jersey, Camden County residents will soon be able to obtain a library card from participating Library Systems to borrow books and other physical items. However, 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,” said Linda Devlin, Director of the Camden County Library 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.”
Getting a library card is free, easy, and a smart way to stay connected to your community. The reciprocal borrowing program between Atlantic, Burlington and Gloucester County Library Systems will go into effect on January 1, 2026.
