Description
With the interior rehabilitated and the branch renamed with its current Jersey City-section nickname, The Heights Branch Library re-opened its doors at 14 Zabriskie Street in April of 2001. Indeed, this was a 'space odyssey,' equipping the refurbished branch with accommodations never imagined in 1918: Public Access computers and an air-conditioned presentation room in its bottom floor.
Since 2001, The Heights Branch Library has hosted new books, videos, recorded books, and a computerized catalog with access to the Internet and full text magazine and newspaper databases. In 2002, when the initial interior design proved cumbersome and unworkable, another revamping ensued. The new decor creates additional sitting area, more visibility, and most of all, is user-friendlier. Patrons and staff alike are pleased with the final results.
