Suggestions[edit]

Hello, I really like how this article has a neutral standpoint. There are no claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position.--OmairAdul (talk) 00:33, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. According to the Newark Public Library website, the Rosewood Branch is temporarily closed. Also, since two of the library branches have been closed for a few years now, we do not need to mention them.--OmairAdul (talk) 14:20, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am going to add the current president and vice president to the article. --OmairAdul (talk) 14:23, 10 April 2018 (UTC) Hello, I decided to make a new section titled "Board of Trustees". I will be adding all the current board members into that section. --OmairAdul (talk) 14:39, 10 April 2018 (UTC) Hi! This is my contribution plan to better the article. When first reading the article, I realized that there are a few grammatical errors and poor word usage. So, I will try my best to fix as many grammatical errors as possible.Under the "History" section of the article, there is more information about John Cotton Dana, rather than the history of the library itself. After doing some research, I found a credible source that thoroughly discusses the history of the library. On the library's website, there is plenty of information about the library's history.https://www.npl.org/Pages/AboutLibrary/NPLhistory.html Also, I realized that some of the information in the article is outdated. For example, one of the library branches is temporarily closed. Also, the information about the library's expansion is outdated. The source used to refer to the library's expansion is from 2006. However, that some source has been updated and is credible since it is a section on the library's website.https://www.npl.org/Pages/ProgramsExhibits/PressReleases/PR_RenoFacts.html Last but not least, I will upload some additional pictures. --OmairAdul (talk) 13:40, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OmairAbdul! I think that it would be OK to remove the branches as long as you make a mention of some of the library's branches closing in the history section. As far as the sourcing goes, these are primary sources and can be used to back up basic information, however it would also be good to find some independent reliable sources if possible.

Hello! I would love to add another section to this article about the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation program NPL is working on in conjunction with Rutgers-Newark. In terms of sources, I found two sources. One is from the NJTV website (https://www.njtvonline.org/news/video/rutgers-newark-establishes-new-center-confront-racism/) and the other is an article found in Library Journal. There is also information on the Rutgers-Newark website, but I figured that the article would be better supplemented by the first sources I mentioned. --Ss3252 (talk) 03:29, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
