VOORHEES, NJ — The Camden County Library System has entered into a new reciprocal borrowing agreement with Atlantic, Burlington, and Gloucester County Library Systems that went into effect on January 1, 2026, according to a press release from Camden County.
The agreement allows Camden County Library cardholders, in good standing, to sign up for a library card in neighboring counties at no cost. The county says that 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,” Commissioner Jennifer Fleisher, liaison to the Camden County Library System, said in the press release. “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 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,” Linda Devlin, Director of the Camden County Library System, stated in the press release. “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.”
