Jersey City Free Public Library
Teresa Fairley's Company Details
Serving the second largest city in New Jersey and located on the Hudson River across from lower Manhattan, the Jersey City Free Public Library system consists of a main library, five large regional branches, and five smaller neighborhood branches to provide access to a diversified collection of 400,000+ pieces of printed, audiovisual, and electronic resources that addresses the needs of the truly multicultural clientele of the city's 240,055 population. With the introduction of an online catalog, users can now search the collection from their homes as well as from a growing number of onsite computer terminals. System-wide automation was completed in 2002. On August 17, 2004, the Library held the grand opening of its first new branch in 42 years, serving the M.L.King redevelopment area, the Glenn D. Cunningham Branch Library & Community Center, named after the late Jersey City Mayor and State Senator.
