Description
First known as the Bergen Branch of the Free Public Library of Jersey City, the Miller Branch was opened to the public on January 14, 1914 in a rented building at 543-545 Jackson Avenue. Since its grand opening in April 1994, Miller has offered the Computer Learning Resource Center (CLRC) to its patrons and has been well received by the Community. The Miller Branch was the first branch within the Jersey City library system to computerize.
IInnovative programming throughout the year exemplifies Miller Branch community outreach. From stage plays and craft-making from local artists, to lectures and workshops aimed at specific audiences, with particular attention to the young adult crowd, this regional branch honors its namesake.
The Miller Branch is known for its extensive collection on African-American history.
