Newark Library

We attended a screening of No Other Land. While the film was fantastic, technical issues delayed the screening half an hour. Perhaps a larger room could have been utilized to accommodate the great turnout.

A small coffee shop or Cafe would be ideal and attract more visitors. Maybe they'll tear down the old library building and build a new community ce
