LibraryLinkNJ is the single, statewide, multi-type library cooperative in New Jersey, working in partnership with its 2,600 multi-type member libraries and the New Jersey State Library to provide access to excellent library services for 8.79 million residents in twenty-one counties. With a $2.2 million annual budget and 4 FTE system staff, LibraryLinkNJ is a member-focused organization with a reputation for providing effective continuing education, strong outreach services, high-level support for innovative technologies, and statewide delivery to its multi-type library membership. The Cooperative has over 1100 voting representatives from over 2,600 public and private school, public, academic, institutional, corporate, health sciences and special libraries and library-related agencies. A member-elected Executive Board meets monthly to oversee the programs and services of the organization. LibraryLinkNJ is a 501(c)(3) organization formed from the 2010 consolidation of the four regional cooperatives and is funded by the New Jersey State Library; members join at no charge and pay no dues. >From the mountains of High Point to the shore areas of the Atlantic Ocean, New Jersey is a model of geographic diversity. It is the 11th most populous and the most densely populated of the 50 states. Bordering New Jersey on the north and east are the metropolitan areas of New York and on the west and southwest by Pennsylvania and Delaware. Known as the Garden State, the state still lives up to its name, and continues to have major cities and industries, pleasant suburbs and rural areas located throughout the state and easily accessible through a wide network transportation system.

Key opportunities include exploring and developing alternative funding streams through fundraising and development, continuing to look for and implement cost-savings strategies, developing an ambitious year-round continuing education program, developing and evaluating an RFP for statewide delivery service, and reinventing and reimagining LibraryLinkNJ for 2021 and the future.

Post Corona Virus Clean-Up: Inquiring Boards Want to Know
by Sara J. Armstrong 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

This post was forwarded to me by a colleague. My research indicates the virus may be active for 48 hours but they really don't know for sure. Disaster preparedness materials suggest having all library materials returned to the book drop and not left at the circulation desk. This reduces the amount of transmission. Once or twice a day (depending on your traffic) someone will need to wear gloves and retrieve the materials from the box. Isolate them with bags or storage bins for at least 48 hours before returning them to circulation. The gloves should be disposed of and then hands washed thoroughly. If anyone has better advice, I'd love to hear it. We're working on the same issues here at Detroit Mercy.
