If you’ve visited the Pennsauken Free Public Library recently, you may have noticed it’s been a little… warm. That’s because the air conditioning system at the Library has failed.

For the last several weeks, the Township has been working on replacing the entire system, as well as installing new duct work to more effectively cool the Library. Since this is a municipal allocation of funds, the process takes longer than it would for a business or a residence. In the meantime, we’re doing what we can to make both patrons and staff as comfortable as possible until the new system is in and operational.

Currently, there are almost a dozen individual air conditioning units installed throughout the building in key areas. We are hoping these units will make things more comfortable inside the Library on hotter summer days. During times of extreme heat and humidity, the Library may have unexpected closures.

Residents are encouraged to call the Pennsauken Free Public Library at (856) 665-5959 before any visits on warmer days to ensure that the building is open. You can also visit the Pennsauken Free Public Library on Facebook for daily updates as well.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue causes our patrons. Both the Library and the Township are doing everything possible to get things cooler as soon as possible.
