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.

Library card options:

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
