Don't have a library card? Many public libraries will issue them online to residents. Library staffers are still available by phone or via chat in most towns. @hack1872 @MontclairLib @MontclairTimes @hooplaDigital @WorthPinkham_ML @BCCLS
Like all public places, your local library is closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. But it holds an online treasure trove you can access if you have a library card: Movies for streaming. Audiobooks and online college courses. E-books. #books #reading #movies #library @Kanopy

MSU adjunct faculty are working without a contract b/c NJ State & Admins have failed to negotiate in good faith. Next step, if they won't be reasonable: strike. (Let's hope it doesn't come to that.)

One library that has been impressed with the new delivery platform is the Montclair Public Library. Director Peter Coyl was a strong advocate of the new service and is appreciating how it has worked for patrons. @MontclairTimes @MontclairLib
BCCLS is New Jersey's largest library system, and up to 8,000 books, audiobooks and videos change hands every day among its 77 member libraries from Mahwah to Millburn. The system accounts for 60 percent of interlibrary deliveries in the state. @hack1872 @BCCLS

I am glad especially that they interviewed Frances Taylor, Miles Davis’ wife, before her passing last Thanksgiving. I also can’t believe it took 15 years to make this, the last two actually in production. Kudos to persistence. @PBSAmerMasters

This documentary hit me in the heart. Wonderfully done, seeing my musical hero captured by @StanleyNelson1 and his team made my evening. A must watch wherever it is shown. I teared up listening to his rendition of “It Never Entered My Mind.” #MilesDavis

"I don't want to be normal. Normal is boring," he says in the video, which also features family, friends, and his high school coach. "Different is fun." @RICARDOKAUL @hack1872 #personalstory #linebacker

The @MontclairLib is one of the 77 libraries in @BCCLS that will have to pay $9,000 to finance the operation of the service, which will start on June 30, to deliver materials on loan from one member #library to another. dlvr.it/QtXjgZ
