A temporary air conditioning unit was installed at the Ventnor Branch on July 12, 2016.  This unit has helped to bring the building to a comfortable temperature and the branch will resume normal operating hours. New equipment has been ordered by Ventnor City and repairs are being scheduled. When these repairs begin there is likely to be more down time. We will share that information as we get it.

With severe weather conditions continuing, please call ahead or check the library website for updates before visiting any of our branches.

The Atlantic County Library System is participating in the World’s Largest Digital Book Club

The Big Library Read connects millions of readers around the world with the same eBook at the same time.  For a two-week period beginning June 23, users will be able to borrow the eBook, A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain from our Overdrive eCollection and participate in a worldwide version of a local book club. There will be no waitlists for this popular mystery with a twist.

A Murder in Time is an intricate mystery about a brilliant FBI agent, Kendra, who finds herself transported back in time to the 1800s. Relegated to the servant class, she stumbles across a gruesome murder, and she alone recognizes they have a serial killer in their midst. Kendra scrambles to solve the case before it takes her own life – 200 years before she was ever born.  At its core, Julie McElwain’s debut novel is a puzzle, a hunt for a murderer and a quest for justice.

To borrow A Murder In Time, readers should sign into the South Jersey Audiobook and eBook Download Center with their Atlantic County Library System card number and PIN.  A Murder in Time can be read on all major computers and devices, including iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phones and tablets, Chromebook™ and Kindle®. The eBook will be available with no wait lists and will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, so there are never any late fees.

The Big Library Read is a free program made possible through a partnership between OverDrive and Pegasus Books, publisher of A Murder in Time. The title was selected based on a survey of more than 20,000 library readers.
