We Have Fax


The Atlantic County Library System is excited to now offer fax services via FaxScan24 Self-Service Kiosks. These kiosks are currently located at our Egg Harbor Township, Galloway Township, Mays Landing, and Ventnor branches. Our remaining branches are expected have their own public fax machines available soon.

FaxScan24 public fax machines are user-friendly with clear simple instructions as well as voice prompting assistance. Payment for the service is made with a credit or debit card. From the website www.faxscan24.com, users can check the status of their fax, resend the fax for free, and can send the document to their email at no extra charge.

Accept the Challenge!

The Atlantic County Library System is excited to launch the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge. The goal of this program is to promote literacy and instill a life-long love of reading in your child. The concept is simple: read 1,000 books (any books) to your infant, toddler, or preschooler before she/he starts kindergarten. 

How it works:

  • Start: Register your child, ages 0-5, at any Atlantic County Library System branch to receive instructions and a reading log.
  • Read: Any book -- new books or repeat books. If you read just 1 book a night to your child, they will have heard approximately 365 books in one year, 730 books in two years, and 1,095 books in three years.
  • Track: Each time you read a book with your child, record it in the reading log or app. All books count, even ACLS storytime titles.
  • Celebrate: Mark each milestone. Upon completion, your child will be presented with a certificate.

For more information about the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and reading suggestions, talk to any ACLS staff member.

That Book Everyone's Got

Still looking for a summer read? The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon was having that same problem and decided to start the first ever “The Tonight Show Summer Reads.”

Jimmy did the research – looked at the cover, read the inner flap, studied the reviews - and picked 5 titles for a viewer vote which was announced on his show, June 29. The winner was: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.1 This summer, use your library card to "walk around with that book everyone’s got" and read the others while you wait or when you're done.

The 4 contenders were:

  • The Good Son by You-Jeong Jeong
  • The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
  • IQ by Joe Ide
  • Providence by Caroline Kepness

Follow and interact with Jimmy Fallon and the Atlantic County Library System
on Instagram by posting pictures of yourself reading and your comments on the books
using #TonightShowSummerReads and #ACLSReadsWithJimmy.

1 eBook and audiobook formats also available in our Overdrive and Axis 360 digital collections.
