The Librarians Documentary
The Librarians Documentary
Embedded Files
The Librarians documentary was created to shine a light on the challenges librarians have faced over the past several years - book challenges and bans, contentious school board meetings, and less-than-supportive administrators and community members. The Librarians brings that all to light.
The New Jersey Public Education Coalition and The Hanover Democratic Committee are hosting a showing of The Librarians at the Morris County Library on Monday, September 14th at 6:45 pm. We are not affiliated with either of these organizations; we are just passing the invitation along. If you would like to see this incredible movie, RSVP at this link. For more information, visit the New Jersey Public Education Coalition Facebook page.
We will host a short September meeting at the Morris County Library conference room at 6:00, then proceed to watch the movie. Have you already seen it? Let us know when and where, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Constitution and History of MCSMA
Constitution and History of MCSMA
Morris County School Library Association was founded in 1958, but the earliest surviving minutes date to the March 25, 1964 meeting held at Dover High School. Our earliest membership list dates back to 1965. Dues in 1965 were $2.00 and were raised to $5.00 in the late 1970's. The first edition of News and Views was published in November, 1978. It was edited by Bea Stone. The early history of our organization was compiled by Dora Stolfi, but unfortunately this material was lost after her death in 1979.
Many thanks to Barbara Scanlan who compiled this information.
