Upcoming meetings

We will be meeting in the Assembly Room on the top floor of the Paterson Free Public Library at 10 am.  Our topic for the day will be development of collections in languages other than English.  Len LoPinto, from the Paramus Library, will be presenting on this topic.

In addition, we will review Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo's bill which would require certain CATV companies to provide Internet service at public libraries with business customer class Internet access bandwidth and circuit capacity proportional to public libraries’ needs.
