Three Jersey City Branches Get 6-Month Reprieve


Link to October 14 Jersey Journal article, "Jersey City council announces 3 library branches threatened with closure will now stay open".

Excerpt: The Jersey City City Council announced last night that the West Bergen, Lafayette and Marion branches of the Jersey City Free Public Library will remain open until at least next June 30.

The three branches had been slated to close this year due to shortfalls in the library's budget. Ward B Councilman David Donnelly shared the good news last night in response to the comments of several library supporters at the council's meeting at City Hall.
