Library Card Options
at the Bridgeton
Public Library |
|
As
of November 1, 2012,
the Cumberland County
Library no longer
subsidizes a
county-wide (CLUES)
library card.
As
a result, there are
changes to library
memberships.
Bridgeton, Millville
and Vineland libraries
now share a library
system — Cumberland
County Library has
joined a group in
Gloucester County.
Because now only
Bridgeton taxpayers
support the Bridgeton
Library, there will be
a charge for Township
residents. |
|
Cumberland County
residents — Free card
for Cumberland County
Library
Bridgeton residents —
Free card for use in
Bridgeton, Millville
and Vineland Libraries
Township residents —
Free card for
Cumberland County
Library
For township
residents who would
like to use city
libraries:
Bridgeton Library only
— $15 per year
Millville Library only
— $30 per year
Bridgeton, Millville
and Vineland Libraries
— $50 per year |
