“Tax preparation is a popular service and a great asset for seniors throughout the region. This is another example of how our county libraries are meeting the needs of the residents they serve in Camden County,” said Freeholder Bill Moen, liaison to the Camden County Library System. “Whether it is tax help, literacy classes or our online high school we strive to provide tangible resources to the community outside of the traditional uses that come to mind with a library.”
For more information, please visit www.camdencountylibrary.org. No appointments are necessary and space is limited. Tax assistance will be offered on a first come, first served basis.
