Requires each public school to post on website comprehensive list of all resources available in school library.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A1059 requires every public school with a library to post a comprehensive, publicly accessible list of all library resources - including books, periodicals, DVDs, and digital databases - on the school’s website. Schools must update this list within 10 days of adding new resources. The school library media specialist is responsible for maintaining the list; if no specialist exists, the principal must appoint staff to handle it. This law applies to all public school districts in New Jersey and takes effect immediately.
