America 250-The New Jersey Plan (www.archives.gov/founding-docs/more-perfect-union)

This Nationalist position revolted many delegates who cringed at the vision of a central government swallowing state sovereignty. "The New Jersey resolutions" called only for a revision of the articles to enable the Congress more easily to raise revenues and regulate commerce. It also provided that acts of Congress and ratified treaties. On June 13 delegates from smaller states rallied around proposals offered by New Jersey delegate William Paterson. Railing against efforts to throw the states into "hotchpot," Paterson proposed a "union of the States merely federal." The supreme law of the States."

For 3 days the convention debated Paterson's plan, finally voting for rejection. With the defeat of the New Jersey resolutions, the convention was moving toward creation of a new government, much to the dismay of many small-state delegates. The nationalists, led by Madison, appeared to have the proceedings in their grip. In addition, they were able to persuade the members that any new constitution should be ratified through conventions of the people and not by the Congress and the state legislatures- -another tactical coup. Madison and his allies believed that the constitution they had in mind would likely be scuttled in the legislatures, where many state political leaders stood to lose power. The nationalists wanted to bring the issue before "the people," where ratification was more likely.

Garden City Library Summer Reading Program


 We’ve got a lot of exciting things happening at the Garden City Library this summer.  

Summer Reading

Our Summer Reading Program is officially in full swing! This year’s theme is “Unearth a Story,” and we are inviting all children and teens (from Pre-K through 12th grade) with a family library card to join the fun.

It is a fun way to encourage a love of reading while school is out.  Here is how it works:

  • Read & Earn: For every 20 minutes spent reading, participants earn a ticket for our big end-of-summer prize drawing!

  • Visit & Score: Every day you stop by the library to redeem your reading time for tickets, you’ll also get to pick a prize from our Treasure Box! 

If you haven’t signed up yet there is still plenty of time!

Book Club

Looking for your next great adult read and some excellent conversation? Join us for our monthly Book Club! We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM at the library.
