The Atlantic County Library System is excited to now offer fax services via FaxScan24 Self-Service Kiosks. These kiosks are currently located at our Egg Harbor Township, Galloway Township, Mays Landing, and Ventnor branches. Our remaining branches are expected have their own public fax machines available soon.

FaxScan24 public fax machines are user-friendly with clear simple instructions as well as voice prompting assistance. Payment for the service is made with a credit or debit card. From the website www.faxscan24.com, users can check the status of their fax, resend the fax for free, and can send the document to their email at no extra charge.

Get ready to get rocking with Atlantic County Library System’s 2018 Summer Reading Program.

Not just for kids, we encourage people of all ages to read for prizes and take part in special events happening at all our branches.

• Join storytimes, contests, talks, crafts and classes all designed to rock you. Complete ACLS event listings are available on our Calendar of Events. Advance registration may be required for some events.
• Sign up for a reading program at your local branch and keep track of all the great books you read to make you eligible to earn or win prizes. Ask at each branch for specific details.
• Share what you’re reading and doing with @ACLSLibrarian on social media using the hashtags #LibrariesRock and #ACLSRocks on Twitter and Instagram.

The Atlantic County Library System is excited to launch the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge. The goal of this program is to promote literacy and instill a life-long love of reading in your child. The concept is simple: read 1,000 books (any books) to your infant, toddler, or preschooler before she/he starts kindergarten. 

How it works:

• Start: Register your child, ages 0-5, at any Atlantic County Library System branch to receive instructions and a reading log.
• Read: Any book -- new books or repeat books. If you read just 1 book a night to your child, they will have heard approximately 365 books in one year, 730 books in two years, and 1,095 books in three years.
• Track: Each time you read a book with your child, record it in the reading log or app. All books count, even ACLS storytime titles.
• Celebrate: Mark each milestone. Upon completion, your child will be presented with a certificate.

For more information about the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and reading suggestions, talk to any ACLS staff member.
