New Branch of Camden County Library Opens at Rutgers-Camden’s Paul Robeson Library


Link to Camden County website.

Excerpt: “We had a great partner in Rutgers-Camden Chancellor, Wendell Pritchett, and great support from Camden Mayor Dana Redd. Ed McDonnell, Deputy Director of the Camden County Freeholder Board and I worked for more than 100 hours with Chancellor Pritchett and Vice Chairman Larry Gaines on creating a concept that would become a national model, and totally unique in the tri-state area,” Leonard said. “Linda Devlin, Director of the Camden County Library System, added her expertise to the plan and led a talented team that transformed a 5,000-square-foot space into a state-of-the-art library that serves everyone from toddlers to high school and college students, job seekers and seniors.”
