The Camden County Library System has announced a new reciprocal borrowing agreement with the library systems of Atlantic, Burlington, and Gloucester counties. Beginning in January 2026, Camden County Library cardholders who are in good standing will be able to sign up for library cards in these neighboring counties at no cost. This agreement is intended to give cardholders access to a broader selection of materials and promote collaboration among libraries across New Jersey.
“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.”
This initiative builds on a pilot program launched in 2024 that included Camden and Burlington counties as well as several counties in North Jersey. Under the new agreement, Camden County residents will be able to borrow books and other physical items from participating library systems. However, some services such as eBooks, digital streaming services, museum passes, technology items, and online resources may not be available due to differences in library policies.
“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.”
The reciprocal borrowing program between Atlantic, Burlington and Gloucester County Library Systems will take effect on January 1, 2026.
The Camden County Library System states its mission is focused on meeting diverse community needs by providing information and resources while fostering an inclusive environment.
