Haddon Township Library Participating in Books for Kids Holiday Campaign

The Haddon Township branch of the Camden County Library System is participating in the annual Books for Kids Holiday Campaign that began on Monday.

As of Monday and running through Dec. 6, all eight branches of the county’s library system is accepting new or gently-used books, appropriate for a range of ages from babies to young teens.

There will be clearly marked boxes available to collect the books.

“Each year we ask our customers to recognize the importance of reading by donating books to our holiday book campaign,” Camden County Library System Director Linda Devlin said. “You can help to foster and develop a love of reading in children throughout Camden County who may not have enough books at home to read.”

The library sends the books to the Camden County Children’s Services Department in December to distribute to children throughout the county in time for the holidays.

The library is seeking new or “gently-used” books in very good condition. Gently-used can be understood to mean books that a person would be comfortable in giving as a gift to a close relative. Books cannot be inscribed with names nor have book plates indicating an organization’s name.
