Starting July 1, BCLS is going fine free on most items! Say goodbye to overdue fines, you’ll be starting with a clean slate on fines for books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, video games, and technology-on-loan. However, you are still responsible for returning your items to the library to avoid a “lost” status, meaning you won’t be able to check anything out until the overdue items are returned. More information is available at the link below! Happy borrowing! https://lnkd.in/eGFnKS7N

We had an incredible turnout at the library yesterday for the eclipse! The clouds cleared up just in time to see the 90% coverage. Library director Ranjna Das and Burlington County Commissioner Deputy Director Dan O’Connell joined in the fun of watching the eclipse out at the Burlington County Library Ampitheater. Kids used a Sunspotter and a solar telescope to admire the shadowing sun. Thank you to everyone for making the day so much fun! #BCLSreads #Eclipse2024 #NewJerseyEclipse #BurlingtonCounty #exploreBCLS
