“We are very excited to welcome Camden County residents back into our libraries after an unprecedented crisis forced our entire state to make the difficult decision of closing many similar shared spaces,” said Freeholder Melinda Kane. “Our staff is taking extra precautions to keep patrons safe when they return to our facilities, and we are asking that visitors do their part to keep others safe as well by wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and limiting their time inside of the facility.”
Information regarding the resumption of library systems will be posted to the System’s website as it becomes available.
