4/28/2020 0 Comments Teaneck Library to Collect and Preserve History of Coronavirus and Impact on Township The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is quickly becoming the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War II. Bergen County has been the hardest hit in New Jersey by the coronavirus, and Teaneck has been at the epicenter. During these unprecedented times, Teaneck Public Library would like to collect and preserve materials as the situation evolves so that future generations and historians can have a glimpse of how our community spent their time.
To help document this moment, the Teaneck Public Library, Teaneck Historical Society, and Age-Friendly Teaneck would like to invite Teaneck residents of all ages to share their experiences and reflections during this global pandemic. The collection will be made available to the public in the near future. The method that you use to record your experiences can take different forms. Some suggestions include:
Experiences can be submitted using the online form (note: a Google Account is required), by email to reference@teaneck.bccls.org, or via USPS to: Teaneck Public Library Attention: COVID19 TEANECK 840 Teaneck Road Teaneck, NJ 07666 Submissions by email or USPS should include the following fillable form.
