Small Libraries Section

Small Libraries United For Big Impact!


Is your library a small library?

  • Officially, is your population under 25,000 people?

  • Professionally, is your job really two (or more) jobs?

  • Personally, do you sigh at conferences when large amounts of staff, space and money are mentioned?

You're not alone. Of New Jersey's 298 public libraries, 211 are considered small. The New Jersey Library Association's Small Libraries section is for you!

“We understand the limitations of small libraries, but we also understand the joy of working so closely with your community." says current president Tanya Finney Estrada (2021-2022 President), "Our meetings reflect the creativity, openness and good humor that are characteristic of small libraries.”

Being involved in the leadership of Small Libraries is a great way to meet like-minded librarians across the state. You can also elevate your involvement outside your own library.
