Camden County Library Closed Through July. Here's Why.

CAMDEN, NJ — The Nilsa I. Cruz-Perez Downtown Branch of the Camden County Library System and its book drop will be closed until at least July 31 for repairs, the county said.

Last week, a fire sprinkler's broken pipe caused water damage, according to the county.

As a result, the site will need to be remediated, cleaned and disinfected; its carpet will need to be replaced; and its drywall will need to be repaired, the county said.

Also: the due date for items checked out from this location will be extended through Aug. 1 and customers can also return materials to any other Camden County Library branch location, according to the county.

The staff will be temporarily reassigned to other libraries until the branch can reopen, the county said.
