Wildwood Crest - I went to compliment the head librarian of the new Wildwood Crest Library on the beautiful facility only to find out she wasn't a librarian. A co-worker told me that none of the county libraries have librarians. There are librarians but they are all in the Court House library. Why are we building new libraries but not staffing them with librarians?

Moderator's Note: 
According to Deb Poillon, Cape May County library director, "The Court House and Lower libraries have librarians on staff. The librarians almost daily go to the other libraries to do programs and to decide what materials to purchase for those collections. The Library Commission does not have the funds to staff every location with a full-time librarian. The staff at the libraries have all been trained to handle the majority of questions that come up on a regular basis and also to know what questions to forward to the Court House librarians."
