nlw2025What draws people to the library? Everything! From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities. National Library Week is April 6–12 — and it is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination and support lifelong learning. 

At the Atlantic City Free Public Library, we invite the community to join the celebration! Whether you’re a longtime patron or haven’t visited in a while, now is the perfect time to explore all the library has to offer. Our library provides a vast collection of books, movies and music in a variety of languages at the library and through our digital collections, such as hoopla and Kanopy, that are available any time of day for those with internet access. The library also offers job training, ESL and computer classes, educational programs for children and teens, an extensive Atlantic City history collection both at the Main Library and online, free WiFi and public computer access, premium eResources and much more.

Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. Whether you’re preparing for a career change, launching a business, raising a family, or embracing retirement, the Atlantic City Free Public Library is here to support your journey. Libraries serve as hubs for learning, creativity, and connection, helping people of all ages explore new ideas and opportunities.

Join us for special National Library Week events: 

Booksale — Purchase a library drawstring bookbag and load it with as many books, DVDs and CDs (from a designated area) for just $5.

Love Your Library — Write about why you love our library on a heart-shaped cutout that the library will provide, and we’ll display it in our New Books section at the Main Library. As a thank you, each time a person submits a heart they will be entered into a drawing for a Visa gift card.
