BCCLS, or Bridging Communities, Connecting Library Services, is a library consortium serving 78 public libraries across Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Passaic counties in New Jersey. It strengthens its member libraries through shared resources, cost-effective services, professional development, and access to technology, helping each library enhance services for its community. Visitors can search the BCCLS catalog for books, music, and other materials, as well as browse new arrivals and world-language collections.

Its digital offerings include eBooks, downloadable or streaming eAudiobooks, eMagazines, and access through services such as OverDrive and Libby. BCCLS also connects users with research and entertainment databases, JerseyClicks resources, library subscriptions, and librarian-selected online references. The organization supports readers and families with children’s and teen resources, homework help, reading lists, readers’ advisory, book clubs, and discussion groups.

Its website shares library events, news, newsletters, and information about member-library locations, services, and special equipment. Community members can also find library-sponsored book sales, join Friends groups, support libraries, and explore job listings
