Celebrate President’s Day with the JCFPL
The Jersey City Free Public Library cordially invites the Jersey City community to join us this President’s Day as we honor the rich history and contributions of U.S. Presidents.
Established in 1889, the JCFPL has proudly served as a dynamic center for growth and learning in Jersey City for over 120 years. Our President’s Day celebration is not only a reflection of our nation’s history but also a reaffirmation of our commitment to being an Effective and Accountable Organization.
We look forward to welcoming you to a series of special events and highlighted resources, showcasing our dedication to providing educational and cultural enrichment to our community members.
