As the New Jersey economy weakens, unemployment figures increase and family incomes shrink, the New Jersey State Library has launched a new Web site designed to make it easier for residents to connect to state programs, services and agencies that can help them during these tough economic times.

The site, http://gethelp.njlibraries.org has categories listing Work Tools, Financial Tools, Housing Tools, Health Tools and Parental Tools, as well as Tools for Seniors.

Users will find resources to help them pay their bills, avoid foreclosure, get job assistance or file for Medicaid.
