Libraries are often something taken for granted in a community.
From finding job or other information on the Internet to locating a book for a child's book report, to viewing a video, people use libraries. To assist those libraries hit by the flood, the State library and the NJ Library Association are initiating a fund to aid stricken libraries. I feel sure we all will do our best to help our library neighbors in this emergency. The helpful spirit of our library staffs and patrons will see us through these difficulties. Libraries suffered loss of equipment, furniture, PC's, carpeting, thousands of books, CD's and videos as well as other structural damage.
