Newark Public Library
Newark (N.J.) -- History
It has purchased four lots on Warren St., comprising a plot 80 × 100 ft.,
which is to be the site for the annex building to be erected within the
next 5 years.
In the Educational Dept. there have been organized and conducted
the accountancy school, automobile schools, classes in electricity,
salesmanship, modern production methods, personal efficiency and memory
training.
A most important advance was made when the City-Wide Community Work was
organized in 1914. There are now 3 districts being operated. Eventually
the city and suburbs are to be organized with 7 distinct districts, each
with a competent secretary doing work for the whole community.
_Young Women's Christian Association_: New administration and recreation
building, 53 Washington St., opened Sept. 2, and dedicated Nov. 3, 1913.
$300,000 for its erection raised in 14 days by a "whirlwind campaign"
for popular subscriptions. Has gymnasium, assembly hall, cafeteria, roof
garden, swimming pool, classrooms, and offices.
Association residence, or boarding home, 304 Broad St., opened March,
