Swedesboro Branch to expand

Congrats to Gloucester County Library!

After years of hoping and dreaming, the Swedesboro Council at its May meeting thrilled the customers and staff of the Swedesboro Library Branch of the Gloucester County Library System by approving a bond to fund an addition to the branch. Behind this effort was years of persistent advocacy by the previous Association Board members, customers and staff for the need of additional space.

The Gloucester County Library Commission and Bob Wetherall, the GCLS director, worked with the council on this effort. The plans call for an additional 3,000 square feet to be added to the existing 2,500 square foot building, and include adding a meeting room, a larger children’s area, a staff lounge, a quiet study room, bathroom, more comfortable surroundings for library users and space for more public-access computers.
