Libraries By Mail Help Homebound Readers Keep Library Connection
S
By Dawn M. Chiossi ort of like a Netflix for libraries, Morris County residents are invited to enjoy the Libraries by Mail program sponsored by the Morris County Library. This community outreach program is a free delivery service provided to individual residents of Morris County who are homebound. As every book lover knows that even from a young age, going to the library is a treat! Books and media enhance the quality of life and inspire people in all kinds of ways. Where else can someone go to take books and other mediums home with just a sweep of a card? Where else can people go to choose any number of books and styles: Fiction or nonfiction, adventure, horror, whatever they wish to read? And libraries are wonderful because after a couple of weeks, folks get to do it all over again when their selections are returned. But what if people are homebound, disabled, lack transportation, or are just unable to get to the library? Should they just give up reading the books or the media they love? Should they just give up the fun of acquiring new ones? Are they just plain stuck? The answer to that is a resounding no! With the Libraries by Mail program, readers don’t have to give up a thing. Those at Morris County Library realize that being homebound and enduring physical chal-
lenges should never impede people’s enjoyment of life. This free delivery service brings books, movies and music to people’s homes, opening worlds to them, transcending limitations. How it works is that residents can request materials by mail, phone, or from the online catalog, select their own books and media. If they prefer, they can have librarians make selections based on people’s reading profile. Books will be mailed with the return postage prepaid. So far, approximately an impressive 200 enrollees take advantage of this program, and more than one dozen bags go out dai-
ly. While it sounds extremely unique, Libraries by Mail is hardly a new program. As Mitch Greenberg, Libraries by Mail coordinator from the Morris County Library explains proudly, “For 45 years postpaid bags have been mailed out daily to the homebound both in residences and institutions. Libraries by Mail serves an impressive 36 municipalities across the county.” He shares that even other local libraries rely on the Morris County Library’s by Mail program if they lack mail delivery services of their own. “It is that necessary,” Greenberg asserts. The Library’s by Mail program began continued on page 2

Libraries By Mail... continued from front page in 1983 as the brainchild of librarian Sally Sullivan at a time when the only outreach program the library had was a bookmobile service. Sullivan insightfully realized that folks who were forced to be homebound were a woefully underserved part of the population in regards to getting and enjoying services, so she applied for a NJ State grant to help, Greenberg shares. Eventually Sullivan’s grant ran out, but her desire to help did not. As such the Libraries by Mail program continued, undaunted. “It has remained largely unchanged,” asserts Greenberg. “Even with the event of computer records, the human element has remained largely intact. Letters, phone calls, and
e mails containing numerous requests, critiques and subject inquiries keep librarians busy.” Items requested are full and varied, from books, movies, downloadable e books, audiobooks, video for the technologically savvy and large print materials for the visually impaired. They additionally take advantage of the NJ State Library “talking book program,” which offers thousands of additional digital audiobooks, audio-magazines and Braille materials. Greenberg shares that Feedback for Libraries by Mail has been nothing but positive. Compliments range from “Love it,” to “Wonderful service,” and “You have made such a difference in my life.” Excited for the program as well, Greenberg says “For as long as people appreciate phys-
ical books and are unable to get to the library, the Libraries By Mail Program at the Morris County Library will try to make their lives better.” Greenberg puts it perfectly when he says, “Whether the enrollees are hospitalized, in wheelchairs, use walkers, or are just laid up from surgeries or accidents, they all have one

Non Profit Shelter Unleashes Common Sense Care To Animals
T
By Cheryl Conway hanks to Common Sense for Animals, many more dogs and cats are living the dream with families to care for them. Last year alone, Common Sense for Animals out of Stewartsville adopted and found homes for more than 1,300 animals. Common Sense for Animals is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit no-kill shelter organization founded in 1990 by Dr. Robert R. Blease, a veterinarian for the past 52 years. The only shelter facility in Warren County, Blease’s property sits on 12 acres “and so does my home and animal hospital,” he says. Twenty eight years ago Blease says he realized “I was alarmed at how people were looking at animals including food animals. They thought hamburger came from Styrofoam not cows, and were being led to dislike farmers. I wanted to educate people how animals fell into our lives. You love your dog but we eat animals. They are entitled to be treated with respect
and dignity.” According to its website: “Our goal is to bring together people who share certain common sense or fundamental principles regarding our heritage, and freedom of choice regarding food producing animals, companion pets, wildlife, research animals and the environment. We are not animal rightists. Instead Common Sense for Animals is committed to the entitlement of all animals to respect and dignity throughout their entire lives. We work to improve every area of human/animal relationships through education and community service.” As a service and educational organization, Common Sense for Animals provides care to animals by finding homes to adopt and foster animals such as dogs, puppies, cats, kittens as well as some reptiles like rabbits and even rats. He says the majority of the animals he brings to the shelter come from the south. According to statistics, he says three to five million animals get euthanized every year in this country.
“We are a private no kill shelter,” he explains on a mission to saving these animals from euthanization. “We work with animal control,” mainly in Warren County, taking in animals that are injured and homeless with the goal of returning a fair amount to their owners with the majority spayed and neutered. “A lot of puppies used to be euthanized,” he says. “We have people begging us to take them from the south.” Despite of all the services this non-profit organization provides, Blease says “We get no funding from the government. They don’t have programs for shelters especially those with no kill. We take animals in from animal control or up from the south. We find them a home unless they have a terminal disease or danger to the public.” Currently at his shelter, Blease has 65 dogs and puppies, a lot requiring fostering because they are too young to adopt yet; 100 cats ready for adoption; some rabbits, ferrets and birds. continued on page 5

Non Profit Shelter... continued from page 4 Blease says his shelter does not take in injured deer, fawn or wildlife but will send them to a licensed rehabber. He says, “injured deer are very dangerous; I saw somebody killed by a deer.” As a man was about to kill an injured deer who was suffering, the deer flicked at the man’s feet and punctured his juggler vein. In addition to service, Common Sense for Animals educates others about the dangers of handling wildlife, why to avoid certain situations and protect oneself from rabies. He visits schools to talk to children “about true animal welfare and we bring groups in. A lot of people have the wrong idea on what is good for animals.” He explains: “If you are a fisherman obey the laws; release what you catch if you don’t plan to eat it. With hunting, eat what you hunt; don’t be a trophy hunter. “Don’t mess if you see an injured piece of wildlife; don’t approach it; call someone who knows what they are doing. Don’t feed the bears; the problem bears
towels. “When you feed 100 cans a day that’s a lot of cat food in a month,” Blease says of its greatest need, in addition to more volunteers to help clean cat cages and walk the dogs. “Walking the dogs is very important,” he says, “as it socializes them back into society.” Fundraising events are held throughout the year to help bring in money. The next event is set for Sept. 23 with a 5K Run & Walk at Meadow Breeze Park in Washington; 9 a.m. to run; 11 a.m. to walk. Register at 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. to run; 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. to walk. Sign up at www. commonsenseforanimals.org/walk-runfor-animals. Food, entertainment and vendors will be on site. “Everyone is welcome,” he says, including animals. To donate go to https://donatenow. networkforgood.org/csa-donations-saving-lives. All donations are tax deductible. For more information, go to www.commonsenseforanimals.org.

are the ones people interact with. Nobody wants to shoot a bear, but they’ve gotten out of control in neighborhoods.” Keeping the environment clean is also important. “What’s good for the wildlife is a clean environment and it’s also good for people,” such as air quality which can cause cancer; polluted beaches because of sewage; dumped soda cans which can cut an animal’s neck. Common Sense For Animals also reaches out to veterans with animals, or anyone who cannot afford to feed their animal “We always try to help. We share the wealth with anyone who can’t feed animals. We offer to help a veteran acquire an animal; we have adoption fees so we offer reduced fees,” to veterans wanting an animal for emotional support. “When we tell them there’s no charge, they give a donation,” Blease says. As a non-profit, Common Sense for Animals is always looking for financial donations and items. Current needs include canned cat food, cleaning supplies and

Women At Work: How Women’s Clubs Contribute To Local Communities
W
By Joyce Corey o m e n ’s clubs aren’t just social gatherings; they are groups of women who view activism on the community, state, and national level as a way to improve the world, one project at a time. Each member has a vision of change and they collectively roll up their sleeves, put on their hiking boots, or don a rain slicker, depending on the type of community project in which they are engaging. An overview of their goals is listed on their website: www.njsfwc. org /about.php. “Founded in 1894, the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (NJSFWC), a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs
(GFWC), provides opportunities for education, leadership training, and community service through participation in local clubs, enabling members to make a difference in the lives of others, one project at a time. There are approximately 8,000 members in 200 clubs located throughout New Jersey.” A quick look at some of the projects the clubs have participated in over the years shows how these goals have positively impacted local communities. In 1894, the New Jersey Federation of Women’s Clubs joined other interested groups to fight for legislation to protect the Palisades. In the early 19th century, quarrying was taking place along the

Women At Work... continued from page 6 during the Christmas holiday. Many clubs still participate in this project each year, sending cookies to veterans and nursing homes, among other locations. On the education front, NJSFWC empowers women. They founded NJ College for Women, now called Douglass Residential College, in 1912. To date, the NJSFWC has donated more than $1 million to Douglass in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and donations for buildings. In 1962, their first Special State Project was created. Every two years, with a new administration, the clubs select a project and jointly fundraise and support a common goal during that time period. Past organizations that have received the help of these women’s groups include Canine Companions for Independence
CCI, Autism NJ, NAMI National Alliance on Mental Illness, and Prevent Child Abuse NJ. The 2018-20 project is CASA NJ, Court Appointed Special Advocates. Barbara McCloskey, the NJSFWC’s third Vice President and State Membership Chair, issues an invitation to join. “Women’s clubs provide opportunities for women of all ages and backgrounds to join together for community service projects, fundraisers to support like causes, socialize, and have fun. As a clubwoman for over 30 years, I have met so many women with compassion, enthusiasm, and commitment in supporting their communities and other causes through NJSFWC and GFWC.” For additional information and to find a club, please visit its website at njsfwc.org or email membership@njsfwc. org.

T
he Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority has scheduled a free Household Hazardous Waste DropOff event Oct. 13 at Chatham High School. The event, to be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine, will allow Morris County residents to properly discard unwanted hazardous household products that have accumulated in their homes. Electronic waste (used consumer electronics) will not be accepted. Visit www.mcmua. com or call 973.829.8006 for E-Waste disposal information. Morris County residents who have done their cleaning projects can drop off, at no charge, unwanted hazardous materials. The list of acceptable hazardous materials includes: pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, oil-based paints, stains, paint thinners and removers, solvents, automotive fluids, lead acid and rechargeable batteries, pool chemicals and darkroom chemicals. Also accepted are aerosol
cans (not empty), propane and helium cylinders, small quantities of asbestos (wetted, double bagged and sealed with duct tape-100 pound limit), driveway sealant, roofing tar, fluorescent bulbs, PCB ballasts, mercury thermometers and switches, household cleaning products, muriatic acid. Latex paint is not considered hazardous, so it is not accepted. Explosive or highly reactive materials, such as picric acid or nitro compounds, also will not be accepted. It is important to note that these events are for residential household waste. Businesses are not permitted to attend these disposal events. Visit the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority website for information and directions, at http://www.mcmua. com/sw_hhw_events.asp.

a Madison resident. Security Shredding, Inc. will provide secure destruction of sensitive documents, after which the shredded papers will be recycled into other paper products. Stay and watch documents being destroyed on the truck-mounted shredder. The cost is $5 per box or grocery bag. Larger containers will be priced accordingly. As this service is also a fundraiser, all proceeds from the shredding event will be “recycled” by the Madison Rotary for future community projects. Also on hand will be a truck from Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, which will gratefully accept area residents’ new or very gently used home building materials, lighting and plumbing fixtures, hardware items in original packaging, fine art and collectibles, and furniture and
G
other home furnishings in excellent condition. Having the ReStore truck come to Madison is a convenience for would -be donors, as the ReStore facility is located in Randolph. ReStore’s inventory is 100-percent donated by businesses and individuals and sold to the general public at a fraction of the retail price. Proceeds are used to build affordable homes in Morris County and surrounding areas. According to Jeannie Tsukamoto, former president of both Madison Rotary and Morris Habitat for Humanity, “donations to ReStore have built 25 homes in Morris County and have kept over 8,000 tons of reusable materials out of landfills since 2007.” For further information, contact Carmela Moeller at carmoeller@aol.com.
