Our computerized public access catalog contains over 500,000 books and audio-visual items. In addition, the catalog includes a number of useful databases. For example, you can find indexes to over 400 magazines and the New York Times newspaper. The catalog also includes an index to the Press of Atlantic City newspaper and an index of over 800 clubs and other community organizations. In addition, a calendar of events lists information on upcoming library and community activities.

The public access catalog is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We offer many options for searching our catalog, and invite you to visit our catalog gateway page. If you prefer, you can begin a basic search of the library catalog by using the "Search the Catalog" option found on the left hand menu of most pages of our web site. Of course, the catalog is available at any of the Atlantic County Library System branches.

Follow this link for information about the individual branches including their locations and hours.

This World Wide Web site also offers favorite links of our librarians, and the favorite links page is categorized by subject. There you will find interesting and helpful reference tools. There is access to other county, state and federal databases and other sources of information.

I hope you enjoy your visit to our website, and invite you back often. I encourage you to visit a branch of the Atlantic County Library System soon. If you have any questions about the Atlantic County Library System, you may contact me at the phone number listed below, or send me an email.

Yours truly,
