Dear Neighbor:
As a resident of Cherry Hill you are entitled to a free membership to the Cherry Hill Public Library!
There is no single place in Cherry Hill where our differences are celebrated more than at our esteemed Public Library. Through their innovative programming and extensive outreach to all sectors of our population, the Cherry Hill Library is a place in Cherry Hill where our residents can come together and unite as one community.
Although the Cherry Hill Public Library is currently closed to the public due to the current health crisis, they are still offering their services to the community. They are open for Contactless Pickup from Monday - Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Wednesday nights until 7:00 p.m. You can browse their books online by visiting their website.
Cherry Hill Public Library card holders can take advantage of benefits other than just borrowing books. At this time, DVDs, CDs, Audio Books, and puzzles are also available for Contactless Pickup by appointment. And don't forget about their programming that targets all ages including musical events, literary lectures, culinary and crafting activities and more - all which continue to be offered virtually! To obtain or renew a Cherry Hill Public Library card, visit their website.
On a separate note, Township Council and I would like to offer our sincere congratulations to President Joe Biden as he takes office as the 46th President of the United States, and best wishes for the success of the new administration. Additionally, we congratulate Vice President Kamala Harris on her historic inauguration as the first woman, first Black, and first Asian American to ever hold the Office of Vice President of the United States. Council and I remain committed to President Biden’s call for unity across this nation and will continue to work toward progress for all residents of Cherry Hill.
Please continue to stay safe.
Sincerely,
