You may search for books and other Atlantic City Public library materials through the ACFPL Catalog. Simply enter a keyword or words from either the author’s name or the title in the Search field and press the Go button.

Books, movies, magazines, CDs/DVDs, electronic resources, archival collections, and all items in the library’s collection can be searched for through OPAC.  After typing in a subject term, searches can be narrowed down by the bar on the left hand side of the page.  Some of the options include what library branch, what language, what format (ie. Book or DVD), and the date.

The process of obtaining a Library Card is handled at the Circulation Desk.

You are eligible for a free membership and a library card if you live anywhere in Atlantic County!  Also, as a result of borrowing agreements with other local libraries, residents of Ocean City and Avalon may also apply for free membership.  If you live outside of these areas, you may become a member of the library by paying an annual $30.00 subscriber fee.

Membership applications are available at the Main Library (One North Tennessee Avenue), or they can get an eCard through our website.

Children and young adults under the age of 18 years old must have a parent or guardian's signature on the membership application.

The card is intended for patron’s use only. It is not transferable. Cards are valid for one year and must be renewed annually.

REGULAR MEMBERSHIP

If you are a resident of Atlantic County, you need to provide one photo ID and one proof of residency.  If your photo ID has your current address, it serves as both proofs and you can obtain a library card immediately.
