The Library and the Latino Community: Celebrating 40 Years of Partnership!
In the late 1970s, the Library began actively recruiting Latino librarians to help address the information needs of the growing Latino population in Newark. Through partnerships with the Latino community, the library has established La Sala Hispanoamericana where the largest Spanish language book collection of any public library in the State is housed; created the only Puerto Rican Community Archive in the State; offers virtual and in-person Spanish language programming; and so much more. These milestones are celebrated in the Latino Celebration exhibit and series of public programs.
