Egg Harbor City may be the smallest branch in the Atlantic County Library System but we have a big heart for our community and our local talent. Currently, we are honored to showcase the beautiful and unique art work of Tom Peterson and Ann Fox. Both are long time patrons and Egg Harbor City residents who have generously donated pieces for exhibit.

Service station owner Tom Peterson imaginatively uses car parts and scrap metal as well as everyday metal objects for his sculptures.

Tom’s Lady Liberty is fashioned with forks, nuts, bolts, washers, screws and even a rivet from the Ben Franklin Bridge. For Magic Tree House, car exhaust shields, bicycle chains, muffler clamps, and other scrap metals come together to create magical quality.

When not focused on her art, Ann Fox enjoys sewing, baking (often treating the Egg Harbor City book club), and walking around  her  working Cranberry Farm. Ann's pencil drawing illustrates her appreciation for detail as well as libraries and the pursuit of knowledge through reading.

We invite you to come by to peruse their art and our shelves.

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 the new circulation desk and completion been pushed back to February 13.

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.
