"We are still working on this location’s air conditioning after this week’s power outage," she said.

Another branch of the library system, the Nilsa I. Cruz-Perez Downtown Branch and its book drop, will be closed through July 31, Camden County said last week.

The downtown branch closure was spurred by a fire sprinkler's broken pipe, according to the county. The resulting water damage forces the county to remediate, clean and disinfect the library as well as replace its carpet and repair its drywall, the county said.
