At their July meeting, LibraryLinkNJ’s Executive Board reorganized with new officers for the current fiscal year:

New LibraryLinkNJ Board President Ranjna Das remarked, "I’m honored to have been elected to serve as president of the Executive Board. I believe the future remains bright and I’m eager to start working with the entire board, as well as LLNJ staff, to help meet the fiscal challenges that lie ahead. We will all work together to maintain services for libraries across the state, while making strategic and economic decisions."
