Public Policy Annual Report

The Public Policy Committee had a very strong year for making progress on various NJLA projects while fortunate to not have significant unexpected issues to attend to. 

The annual Legilsative Agenda was adopted and we continue to work on moving the 3 current bills NJLA supports. The first ever Public Policy 101 event was held in December and was highly successful. Members of Public Policy (James and Maureen) spearheaded a School Library Census.  Members Maureen and Amy oversaw Advocacy Week.  Vice Chair Susan Briant coordianted National Library Legislative Day for New Jersey.  Four Conference programs were presented.  The Chair and Vice chair attended town meetings for the West Orange and Leonia libraries facing budget cuts.
