The Board of Commissioners will partner with the Museum of the American Revolution this summer to launch "Revolution at the Library," a program aimed at elementary school students and their families. The initiative seeks to educate children about the American Revolution through engaging stories and interactive activities.

Starting in July, museum educators will visit various branches of the Camden County Library System to present stories of the American Revolution. Commissioner Melinda Kane, liaison to the library system, emphasized the importance of this historical period, stating, “The American Revolution is an incredibly important piece of our nation’s history that began right here in our own backyard. Educating children on this time in history in a way that they can understand and are excited to engage in will be extremely impactful and we cannot wait to get started with this program next month.”

The program will be featured at several library locations, including William G. Rohrer Memorial Library-Haddon Township Branch, Gloucester Township Blackwood Rotary Public Library, M. Allan Vogelson Regional Branch, South County Regional Branch, Riletta L. Cream Ferry Avenue Branch, and Nilsa I. Cruz-Perez Downtown Branch.

Established in 1921, the Camden County Library System aims to meet the recreational, informational, and educational needs of its patrons across multiple locations including Camden, Bellmawr, Gloucester Township, Haddon Township, Merchantville, Winslow Township, and Voorhees Township. The library system is governed by the Camden County Board of Commissioners and the Camden County Library Commission.
