Leadership edit
Founded in March 2013 by Yaakov Bressler, the literary group had a modest beginning, consisting of a dozen or so writers meeting every month for literary and writing events.[3][4] As the magazine's readers and contributors grew, the magazine took initiative to expand its funding, running a successful referendum campaign in April 2014 – expanding the magazine's budget "from hundreds to thousands."[3]
In 2015, Paulette Gindi became Stuck in the Library's second president, dedicating her term to providing "A Safe and Creative Space at Brooklyn College."[5] The group under Ms. Gindi's leadership succeeding in publishing the magazine's 30th edition in October 2017.[5]
In 2018, Mary Halabani became Stuck in the Library's third president and succeeded in further expanding the literary group's operations to Brooklyn College and CUNY students.[6][7]
