Camden County Library Participates in Library Card Sign-Up Month

The Camden County Library System recommends that each student get an updated library card for the start of the new school year, and is joining forces with the American Library Association and public libraries nationwide to make sure that’s possible.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month.

Resources at the Camden County Libraryare available to anyone who has a library card. Students can turn to the library for materials, programs and services that support academic achievement.

Specific homework help for both elementary and secondary students is available 24/7 on the library’s website through its Kid’s Zone and Teen Space pages found under Using the Library on the top of the homepage at www.camdencountylibrary.org .

Students and parents can access these services 24/7 from an Internet connection at home or anywhere.

Camden County Library members with an active library card can even get free access to Tutor.com through the website. Tutor.com provides help from live tutors in real time, online between 2 p.m. and midnight at www.camdencountylibrary.org/homework-help-teens.

“Our library helps students every day in different ways, both on site at one of our eight branch locations or online through our website – our virtual branch at www.camdencountylibrary.org,” Camden County Library System Director Linda Devlin said. “Students learn in a variety of ways and thanks to the resources available at the library, including our great staff, we can meet the needs of all ages and types of learners. The library has something for everyone – all free with a library card. A library card should really be on every student’s list of essential school supplies.”

Families in any of 27 member communities can get a free library card. A list of member communities and even an option to get a library card online can be found at www.camdencountylibrary.org/member-communities or visit one of the library’s eight branches: Bellmawr, Camden (Ferry Avenue or Cruz-Perez Downtown, 301 North 5th Street), Gloucester Township, Haddon Township, Merchantville, Winslow Township or Voorhees.
