Camden County Library System now offers social work services
Tuesday, March 04, 2025
To continue its commitment to providing community services, the Camden County Library System has hired a full-time social worker to provide free, confidential support to residents.
T’Keyah Hose, the new social worker, will travel to all library branches monthly to aid residents in a variety of aspects including housing assistance, food assistance and SNAP benefits, employment assistance, utility bill assistance, senior resources, health care and insurance, mental health and counseling referrals, and much more.
"The Camden County Library's addition of a full-time social worker demonstrates our commitment to meeting residents where they are and addressing their immediate needs,” Commissioner Virginia Betteridge said. “The library is so much more than just a place to check out books, it is a pillar of community support. Hiring a social worker to assist our residents with important needs is guaranteed to strengthen our community and I applaud the library for this forward-thinking initiative.”
The library’s social worker offers flexible options for accessing support. To make an appointment call 856-633-6216 or email [email protected].
“We recognize that our community members face a range of challenges, and we want to provide a safe and accessible place where they can find support,” said Linda A. Devlin, Camden County Library Director. “By having a full-time social worker on staff, we can connect individuals with the resources they need to thrive.”
This announcement coincides with National Social Work Month in March, culminating in Social Worker Appreciation Day on March 19th. The Camden County Library proudly recognizes and celebrates the invaluable contributions of social workers to our community.
