Newark Public Library

This community library serves the neighborhoods in the North Ward (such as Forest Hill and Broadway), hence it’s referred to as the North End Branch. It’s closer to Belleville and is in a very residential area. On the corner of Grafton and Summer, the North End Branch is housed in a red brick building with a brick and black iron fence surrounding it. There are steps up leading to the front entrance on Summer and a ramp for wheelchairs or other mobility aids on the Grafton. There is parking both the street and a small lot in the back of the library (with a one way entrance on Summer and one way exit on Grafton).
Like the other NPL branches, it serves the needs of the immediate community and provides library resources for adults and children. It has a collection books, multimedia, and magazines in English and Spanish. The emphasis here seems to be functioning as a center of community engagement with the distribution of info on cultural events and job opportunities. It has career-​related and English-​for-​Speakers-​of-​Other-​Languages (ESOL) resources available.
Newark Public Library is a wonderful library. Its branches are essential in supporting the NPL’s noteworthy vision and mission. For that, I give the branches 4-​stars for the work that its employees and volunteers do to enrich the lives of the people in the community.
