Galloway Library Announces Reopening Date

GALLOWAY, NJ — After being closed since mid-June, the Galloway branch of the Atlantic County Library is set to reopen on Sept. 29.

The local branch was closed for the installation of a new $2.5 million HVAC system.

“We’re pleased that the work was completed on schedule with limited inconvenience,” County Executive Dennis Levinson said in a statement. “The new system should further enhance the enjoyment of this important community asset.”

The branch, located at 306 E. Jimmie Leeds Road, is the fourth county library to receive a new HVAC system with partial funding from the NJ State Library Construction Bond Grants and American Rescue Plan monies. HVAC systems were previously installed in Hammonton, Egg Harbor Township and Mays Landing.

During the construction, hours at the Absecon branch had been extended for greater access by the public. Those extended hours will now end with the reopening of the Galloway branch.
