In April 1941, the Warren County Library appointed Miss Margaret Zimmerman to be the librarian of the Blairstown location as an N.Y.A. In 1937, the book truck found itself rushing a wounded hunter to the hospital, and in 1938, the librarian and truck were included in a moving picture made at the Allamuchy school. In addition to the work of establishing and servicing stations, the librarian gave presentations at schools and attended meetings and workshops to increase her knowledge and skills in the profession. When the book truck was unable to make deliveries, the library mailed books to stations. The early years of the library were characterized by resourcefulness and action. In some cases, such as the Blairstown Library, a station was so well supported by the community that it developed into a fully-operational library. In this time before consolidated school systems, the Warren County Library served small, rural schools by supplying children with storybooks and teachers with reference material for school curriculum. In just the first year of its operation, the library was making regular visits to fifty-one stations and forty-five schools (Washington Star 2-25-1932). Originally headquartered on Mill Street in Belvidere, the Warren County Library conducted much of its work by bookmobile at schools and library “stations.” Stations were book collections supplied and selected by the county librarian but housed and lent by volunteers in their homes, churches, and businesses. Now the library is making regular visits to dozens of locations in even the most remote corners of this rural area in northwestern New Jersey. Within six months, the Warren County Library Commission formed, established a location to house the library, purchased materials and supplies, and appointed a county librarian. One year ago, Warren County residents voted to establish a county library. History of the Warren County Library, 1930-2021 Early Years
