Renee
Becker Swartz has been named to the National Museum and Library Services
Board by President Bush, one of 20 members nationwide. We will celebrate
this capping of her 38 years of service to the NJ library community on
May 25.
Plan now
to join fellow CJRLC members at our Spring Membership Meeting at the
newly renovated Middletown Twp Public Library. Staff will offer tours of
the greatly expanded facility, which features self-checkout, retail
marketing displays, and eye-catching signage. Director Susan O’Neal
will share some of what she learned in the two year process.
NJ State
Librarian Norma Blake will provide updates on state activities. And, we
hope, we will be celebrating the election of Leslie Burger as ALA
president! (Don’t forget to ask your friends to vote when the ballot
comes out in late March!)
