Pitch Perfect: A Workshop for Librarians
The incorporation of social-work-informed library services has become a powerful movement in the United States. To date, little research has been done to evaluate this trend in New Jersey libraries. In collaboration with the Long Branch Free Public Library, we are conducting this survey to establish baseline data on the employment of social workers and a foundation for future study on the provision of social services in NJ public libraries. Thank you for participating in this survey.
