All New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) social networking sites should adhere to the following guidelines to ensure that we represent a single, unified organization:

One Book New Jersey is a program designed to bring people together through literature by encouraging them to read the same book and participate in discussions and other events centered on that book. One Book New Jersey celebrates reading, literacy, and all that New Jersey's libraries do.

The current proposed House Budget says "The Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is an independent agency that makes grants to museums and libraries. This is not a core federal responsibility". The NJLA believes that having an informed and literate citizenry and protecting cultural heritage are important national priorities and funding institutions that contribute to this work is indeed a core federal responsibility.  The NJLA urges library supporters to communicate the importance of federal funding for libraries to President Obama and our NJ Congressional Delegation.  NJ libraries benefit from federal funding from IMLS in many ways including funding for a variety of electronic databases available to all NJ residents and support for the NJ Talking Book and Braille Center.

• RESTORE  FUNDING FOR THE STATE PER CAPITA AID PROGRAM –critical component of local library support.
• ESTABLISH A CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES-renew the Library Construction Bond program to provide capital funding for public library buildings and technological infrastructure.
• UPHOLD FUNDING FOR STRONG LOCAL LIBRARIES-Support legislative activities which provide a strong financial foundation for local public library services.
• MAINTAIN FUNDING FOR NEW JERSEY LIBRARY NETWORK-  A model of shared services and innovation funding provides a statewide delivery system and cost sharing programs which are critical to the operations of all types of libraries in New Jersey.
