Moving On Over to OverDrive

As of Friday, September 22, 2023, the Axis 360 digital content platform is no longer be available through the Atlantic County Library System. eBooks previously available in Axis 360 will be transferred to our OverDrive eCollection which can be accessed in a browser or through the Libby app.

What does this mean?

  1. ACLS will no longer offer content through AXIS 360. Users do not need to download the new Boundless app -- no ACLS content will be available through it. 
  2. Patrons with titles checked out in AXIS 360 after the transfer will continue to have access to them through their due date. However, they MUST REMAIN LOGGED IN to their AXIS 360 app for this to be possible.
  3. Unfortunately, any existing holds in AXIS 360 on September 22 will NOT automatically transfer to the same title in OverDrive. A list of active holds in Axis 360 has been created and we will manually add your hold to OverDrive on Monday, September 25.

Our hope is this move from Axis 360 to OverDrive will make it more convenient for you to access more of the titles you want all in one place. We apologize for any inconvenience and encourage you to use the Online Contact Us Form if you have questions or need assistance.

Libraries Lead

http://www.ilovelibraries.org/librariestransform/During National Library Week, the Atlantic County Library System joins libraries nationwide in celebrating the many ways libraries lead their communities through the transformative services, programs and expertise they offer.

The Atlantic County Library System is more than a quiet place to study and check out books. Whether it is internet access, job training and resumé writing workshops for the unemployed, or programs to engage the next generation, our library is a modern community center that provides for the needs of every member of our community. It is a place where lives are transformed every day.

This week make it a point to stop in and peruse our catalog or shelves to find books, music and magazines, use our computers or join one of our programs or events. Some of the programs we offer include storytimes, book clubs, computer skills workshops, chess clubs, knitting groups, concerts, informative talks, and health & fitness workshops. Checkout our events calendar or ask our staff to discover what's going on in our branches. If you can't come by, you can access our online resources which are available 24/7. Download a book, music or magazines and use our databases to learn a language, do research, get homework help or just to learn something new.

Libraries also recognize their viability relies on patron and community use and support.
Help us celebrate by visiting your library and showing your support on social media
with the #NationalLibraryWeek & #LibrariesLead.

Trash to Treasure


The Atlantic County Library System is excited
to partner with ACUA for the
4th Annual Recycled Art Contest

 

Open to Atlantic County residents of all ages, this contest challenges you to use your imagination by creating art with materials from recycling bins and/or trash cans.

Artwork, and completed entry forms, must be submitted between Friday, March 23 and Saturday, April 7, 2018 to any Atlantic County Library System branch. They will remain on display at these locations through April 16.

Selections in each of the 5 categories (8 & under, 9-13, 14-17, 18 & older and Group), will be chosen by ACLS staff and moved to ACUA's facility for judging. Artists of selected artwork will be notified by April 19. The final winners will be announced, and prizes awarded, at the 28th Annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 22, 2018.  All other submissions must be picked up by their artists between April 23 and April 28 at the branch it was displayed.

Pick up complete guidelines and an entry form at the ACUA, any ACLS branch or print it here.

Go to www.acua.com/artcontest for details.

New Name and Look, Same eMagazines

Zinio eMagazines and OneClickdigital may have a new name, and a new look, but our patrons still have access to the same great content.

The Atlantic County Library System's collection of over 60 downloadable magazines is now named RBdigital Magazines. In addition, mobile device or tablet users can now browse, checkout, download, and read both collections in one place: the RBdigital app.

Get Charged

Atlantic County has weathered hurricanes, derechos and blizzards in the past and, unfortunately, will do so in the future. In times of crisis, the Atlantic County Library System has proven to be a safe haven and support center for our community.  During Superstorm Sandy, residents and visitors used our resources for technological support, such as public computers and Wi-Fi access to contact relatives, start insurance claims, and apply for available help. Our branches also fulfilled the need for emotional and practical support by being a central place to meet, get current information and charge devices.

Smartphones, laptops and tablets have become part of the fabric of our everyday lives and having the ability to charge them, not only in emergency situations but every day, is something we have all come to appreciate. Recognizing this, along with an incentive to help local libraries help their communities, LibraryLinkNJ (LLNJ), has awarded contracts for 14 secure public device fast charging stations. The Atlantic County Library System is honored to be a recipient of one of these stations.

A Kwikboost 9300 Charging Locker is now available free to the public at our Mays Landing Branch and will be connected to the emergency generator. It provides 16 charging connectors (including Apple Lightning, Micro USB, USB Type-C) and a single power outlet throughout 8 lockers. Each charging locker is ADA compliant and lock individually to allow users to confidently leave their devices charging while they use library resources.


Funding for this Powering Up: Library Charging Stations initiative is provided by LibraryLinkNJ, The New Jersey Library Cooperative whose services are funded by the New Jersey State Library, which is responsible for the coordination, promotion, and funding of the New Jersey Library Network.
