The Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) strives to provide Somerset County residents with opportunities for lifelong learning and enrichment. Through continued partnerships with arts organizations and grant funding agencies, like the New Jersey Council for the Humanities (NJCH), the System is able to offer a variety of educational and informative programs.
“Libraries are presenters of the breadth of knowledge,” said W. Keith McCoy, SCLSNJ’s director of public services. “It’s important that we offer programs that look at the culture of the world we live in, especially the local part we pass through each day. We’re grateful that the state of New Jersey supports the humanities and public knowledge in this way.”
According to NJCH, the Council subsidizes 200 high-quality public humanities programs for organizations throughout the state annually, providing opportunities for New Jersey communities to explore shared history, values, culture, and beliefs, and to engage in key questions with the support of a scholarly perspective.
Your Library System will offer eight programs from the NJCH Public Scholars program exploring music to history and beyond.
