Mission Statement

The Small Libraries Section.

Represents the interests of small libraries to NJLA and the NJ State Library and provides continuing education resources with an emphasis on the situations and changes facing small libraries and their staff. Facilitates a forum for staff of small libraries to come together and network, in person and virtually, to promote sharing of ideas.

Purpose

The purpose of the Small Libraries section of the NJLA is to promote the common interests, activities, administration, and services of all small libraries. SL defines a small library as any public or non-public library serving a population of less than 35,000, but we are happy to have any NJLA member join our group. We learn best from each other.

The Association provides resources and support that empower those in small and rural libraries to deliver excellent service to their communities.
