(A) Community Reentry Book Club

This group is a partnership between the library and the Camden County Department of Corrections. We read and discuss books by and about individuals who have been impacted by time incarcerated in jails, prisons, or detention, as well as books about the history, politics, and geography of systems of incarceration. We spend two months with each book, beginning the first month by reading aloud together 1-2 chapters.

Join us for our first meeting of 2026! Together we will read the first section of the book Start Here A Road Map to Reducing Mass Incarceration by Greg Berman and Julian Adler. We'll conclude our discussion of this title in February.

Copies to keep will be available (first come, first served).
