Why is the Monmouth Beach Library named for Sidney B Johnson?

Mr. Sidney Borden Johnson was a lifelong resident who served as Mayor of Monmouth Beach from 1949-1978. It was during his tenure as mayor that the Monmouth Beach Library Association was formed and funds raised to construct the library building.  Our circulation desk was donated in his memory, given by his family.
