The Bergen County Cooperative Library System ( BCCLS , pronounced "buckles") is a consortium of public libraries in the four northeastern New Jersey Gateway Region counties of Bergen , Hudson , Passaic , and Essex . Founded on October 1, 1979, the organization allows for reciprocal borrowing among its members so that books, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs and other media are shared among the libraries cooperatively. [3] Those with a valid library card from participating towns are permitted to reserve materials online and have them transferred to their local library, where materials can be retrieved. [4]

As of 2019, there are 77 public libraries with a total of 81 branches participating in the consortium. [5] All of Bergen County's public libraries are members of the BCCLS, along with 15 libraries from Essex, Hudson, and Passaic counties. [6] A patron's hometown library card is honored at all participating libraries. The BCCLS had also participated in the Open Borrowing (www.openborrowing.org) program, with participating libraries in Middlesex , Morris , Passaic, Sussex and Warren counties; this participation ended on January 1, 2015.
