ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF THE ASNJ LENDING LIBRARY

Many great scholarly organizations have lending libraries and the ASNJ is no exception. Thanks to our reciprocal membership agreements with other archaeological organizations up and down the East Coast, the ASNJ has a small library of journals and other publications related to local archaeology. The late Herbert C. Kraft maintained the library at Seton Hall University until his passing when it was transferred to Monmouth University. With the exception of a few rare books that can be used by appointment at Monmouth, all books are available for loan to ASNJ members.

Who can borrow materials? Any ASNJ member in good standing

Are there library cards? No, the ASNJ’s acting librarian will keep a register of patrons and the books they have borrowed.

How long may I keep a book? Books are checked out for the period from one meeting to the next.

Are there library fines? Why do you ask? Are you thinking about absconding with a book? Return the books on time and we won’t have to worry about this question.

How can I get a particular book or journal? Simply e-mail (rveit@monmouth.edu) or call 732-263-5699 the ASNJ’s acting librarian with your request. The book will be brought to the next meeting for you to pick up.

Who is the librarian? Currently, Richard Veit is acting as librarian; however, other interested individuals who have an interest in helping with the library are encouraged to sign up for the library committee. An individual need not be a board member to serve on the committee.
