Dear Colleagues,

It has come to our attention that some libraries in New Jersey, and across the country, have received an email similar to the following:

 

From: <removed for privacy>@gmail.com

Dear Library Director,

I am a patron of the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community and would like to be more involved in how our library is run. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?

Thanks,

<removed for privacy>

 

If you are in receipt of such a message we recommend responding with your library's Board of Trustees meeting calendar as well as either a link to, or the full text of, the Open Public Meetings Act: http://www.njstatelib.org/services_for_libraries/resources/library_law/page25-2/ 

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Best regards,

Bob Keith
