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. 
Picture
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:
  • A journal, poem or narrative of your thoughts and experiences
  • Photos and/or videos of life as you see it
  • Voice recordings/memos
  • Interview with friends or family for an oral history
  • Artwork or drawings
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
  • Stories about what changes you witnessed in the Teaneck community
  • Challenges created by staying in touch with family and friends during this period of social distancing and self-quarantine
  • Experiences of working or learning remotely
  • How this pandemic is impacting your life.
Events continue to change day by day. They are specific to you and to your families, friends, and communities. Please start documenting now!
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

    Who We Are

    ​     Age-Friendly Teaneck formed in 2016 with this mission in mind: A great place to grow up should be a great place to grow old.
         Our network of supporters includes some of Teaneck’s most-active government, business and civic leaders. 
         The project is directed by Elizabeth Davis, a licensed clinical social worker who founded Geriatric Services, Inc., a non-profit with oversight over two of Teaneck’s affordable living options for seniors -  Bright Side Manor assisted living residence and the Brookdale, a 64-unit affordable senior housing building.
         Project Coordinator Jacqueline Kates is a former mayor and township council member who recently retired as community relations coordinator at Holy Name Medical Center. 
        A diverse group of township leaders and residents sit on our steering committee and five task forces, together working toward the common goal of better serving the needs of township residents of all ages.
