Gov. Phil Murphy announced last week that New Jersey has been approved for nearly $180 million through the Capital Project Fund. More than $34 million of this funding is approved for the State Library’s Community Center Digital Connect program — for constructing or improving buildings that directly support employment, education and health monitoring. Communities with critical needs were preselected and participated in a competitive grant process administered by the New Jersey State Library. “Our mission is to empower residents by providing community-based access to high-quality modern infrastructure, including broadband, which is essential for accessing critical services,” said State Librarian Jen Nelson. The New Jersey library community strives to fulfill the information needs of a vast and varied customer group.

The first State Per Capita Aid Act was passed by the New Jersey Legislature in 1959. It established the principle of a partnership between local libraries and the State of New Jersey for the provision of quality library service through direct state financial support for public libraries. Its passage set a precedent that the State of New Jersey had a critical partnership role in providing quality library service for the residents of New Jersey.
