The Little Free Library at Birch Grove Park has been open for about six weeks, but a sunny warm day on Nov. 6 made the perfect occasion for the official grand opening.
Newark Optimist Club and Newark Rotary sponsored the Little Free Library, with the goal of focusing on children’s and youth literature. At the grand opening, they hosted a snack table, and families stopped by to check out the books. Newark Mayor Michael Hannon also made an appearance.

The Optimist Club shared that unlike their other Little Free Library at Mayhews Landing Park, the community has been active in replenishing the supply of books, without relying on club donations.
