Description

For the first time, a library history is focused at the way by which libraries of a wide variety have developed within a single state. The growth of public libraries, the state library, school libraries, academic libraries, and special libraries are all regarded as on this one volume. New Jersey’s library history stretches back into the mid-eighteenth century with the development of a small book collection by the colonial government.

In addition to the local events that shaped the growth of libraries in New Jersey, this history also touches at the strong national trends that were at work, which link New Jersey’s development to identical occurences in other states. Thus, to read the story of libraries in New Jersey could also be to start to take into account the growth of libraries all the way through the nation.
