In the interest of limiting the spread of COVID-19 within our communities:

  • All programs, events and space rentals are cancelled.
  • Customers and staff entering our buildings are required to undergo a non-invasive temperature check, wear masks at all times and practice social distancing.
  • Visitors are also encouraged to wash their hands frequently with soap and water, and limit their time with us as a courtesy to others.
  • Plexiglass has been installed at the circulation desks and hand sanitation stations are available.
  • We are not accepting donations at any library location.
  • Mobile Library, Interlibrary Loan and the Musuem Pass Program are all unavailable at this time.
  • Library locations are only accessible for public PC appointments and curbside pickup. Library interiors are not open to the public for browsing of materials. If you wish to request items from our collection, please follow the steps listed here.

Here is what we're doing to keep you safe:

  • We are working with and getting guidance from the Burlington County Health Department, Centers for Disease Control alongside other county, state and government agencies to plan and keep our customers informed.
  • All materials returned will be quarantined for four days before being checked-in, therefore customer records may take up to six days to be updated.
  • BCLS staff must undergo temperature checks prior to arriving for work each day.
  • BCLS staff must wear masks at all times when handling library materials.
  • High-touch surfaces and work areas will be cleaned and sanitized between staff shifts.
  • Frequent handwashing with soap and water is also required of staff throughout the day.

We encourage customers to engage with us virtually through our website which provides access to online resources, streaming movies, ebooks and audio ebooks 24/7.
