“The New Jersey Library Association strongly believes that $1
per-capita, or an additional $5 million budget appropriation, would restore our
state per-capita aid program for local libraries. Public libraries are not just
nice amenities for communities to have if they can afford them. Rather, they
are vital community anchors essential to our state’s educational, governmental
and economic development goals.”-- Cindy Czesak, “Public Libraries: The Ultimate Value Meal,”
The Record (Bergen County, NJ), June

The image accompanying this post is in my hometown, the Englewood Public Library—just the kind
of “vital community anchor” praised by Ms. Czesak, director of the Paterson Public
Library.
