Library Wrappings

Christmas is coming early to the Egg Harbor Township branch of the Atlantic County Library System.

Beginning December 13, 2018, the EHT branch will receive a new circulation desk and information/reference desk as well as replacement floor tiles. Inclement weather has caused a shipping delay of some of the furniture. As a result, installation of all has been pushed back to January 9.

The library will remain open during construction though visitors will need to enter the library from the side entrance and may experience some noise during construction. Noise may also be responsible for some phone calls not be answered. If you are having trouble reaching EHT by phone, please try another ACLS Branch who can answer your questions as well as assist you with renewals and placing holds.

Our staff will do everything to ensure it is an easy process for everyone. “These new improvements will make a visit to the Egg Harbor Township branch an even more enjoyable experience. We welcome the public to stop in to see them for themselves and to take advantage of the many services and programs we provide, free of charge, from toddlers to seniors,” said Gair Helfrich, Atlantic County Library System Director.

Our Catalog is E-ven Better

The Atlantic County Library System has two collections for our eBooks and eAudiobooks resources – OverDrive and Axis 360.  Some book titles are available in both platforms and some in just one or the other. Wouldn't the ability to search both our online collections in one place help save you time and reduce the chance of missing a great read? Well now you can.

Users of Atlantic County Library System's online catalog can now search both our e-Collections for availability. Even better, ACLS cardholders can place a hold or checkout a title directly from the catalog.

Reading an eBook, or listening to an eAudiobook, will still require downloading it to a PC or mobile device once it is checked out – a message will instruct the user to do that. For instructions on how to use these new features read our tutorial "ACLS Online Catalog."

Blooming Beautiful

Two Atlantic County Library System Gardens Named
2018 “Gardens of Distinction” by Pennsylvania Horticultural Society

The Mays Landing and Egg Harbor Township branches each received 2018 Garden of Distinction recognition by the Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Both library branches were entered in this year’s Gardening and Greening Contest which recognizes the achievements of gardeners in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

The Egg Harbor Township Branch won for its first-time entry in the tiered pollinator garden category.

This is the Mays Landing Branch’s second year winning in the courtyard pollinator garden category.
 

Both gardens are designed, planted and maintained by Rutgers Master Gardeners of Atlantic County.
