Morris Authors Collection

In the fall of 2007 the library began to assemble a research collection of the works of Morris County authors, living and past. These writers either grew up in the area (Gene Shalit) or spend the majority of their writing years here (Abner Doubleday)--or both (Charles Haas). The non-circulating
titles are accompanied by biographies and news stories about the writers.

We welcome donations of works by these writers or you can "Adopt an Author," by
making a donation to the Library Foundation with which we can then purchase out of
print titles by local writers. We have identified 317 authors (and their 1,200+ books)
so far. Let us know if you are aware of other county writers who should be recognized
in the Morris Authors Collection.

The Morris authors list, January 2012.
(Works by Drew faculty will be found in the University archives.)

Authors Day 2012, celebrating local writers, will be April 28th, Saturday.
