The New Jersey Public Libraries system is faced with a deep hole to climb
out of in the wake of Gov. Chris Christie's March 16 address on statewide
budget cuts. The cuts total approximately 50 percent of their state aid
and 74 percent of funding for services.
Among the cuts, many important services libraries provide are in danger of
being lost completely to the inability to fund them any longer. Things
like access to several electronic databases and interlibrary loaning will
fall victim to the cuts, according to www.ilovenjlibraries.org, as will
many libraries' access to the Internet and e-mail services.
Additionally, The Talking Book and Braille Center, the Library for the
Blind and Physically Handicapped, will be closed, the Web site says.
"I think this will be devastating to library systems throughout the
state," said Anne Wodnick, the Gloucester County Library Director.
"They're essentially removing programs targeted for cuts. It's really
going to impact the cost on [individual libraries] to replicate those
services on a local level. We'll do our best, but generally, we're not
talking about cuts. We're talking about complete elimination of these
programs."
One of the most important features that will be eliminated is access to
electronic databases. Libraries no longer maintain extensive magazine
collections, according to Donna Bensen Kennedy, the Gloucester County
Library System's Mullica Hill Branch Manager. E-databases allow users to
quickly and efficiently find necessary or relevant information from
magazine articles or papers online, like Googling, but without all the
unrelated material and spam.
