Designates second week of September of each year as "Library Awareness Week in New Jersey."
SJR 31 is a procedural resolution designating the second week of September each year as "Library Awareness Week in New Jersey." It directly affects all New Jersey residents and libraries by calling for annual recognition of their role in communities. The key mechanism requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and residents to observe the week with activities highlighting libraries' contributions to lifelong learning, democratic access to information, and community services. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to foster public awareness and support for libraries.
