Update from Our Library Director, Mr. Christian: Some Services Now Available!

Posted on by

Today we got confirmation from Riverton Free Library’s Director and Branch Manager, Christian Pulverenti, that if you have books to return, they are being collected at the Cinnaminson branch of the BCLS, even if you did not take them out from that library.

If you wish to receive Curbside Service, you can request a book from the Cinnaminson branch and arrange with them for them to deliver to your vehicle .  You will not be able to order an item from another branch, such at Riverton — only materials found at that, specific library, be it Cinnaminson, the Main Library in Westhampton, or Evesham or Pemberton.  Contact each library, directly for details.  You can search the BCLS online catalog for titles and material locations.
