From Draft talk:Jersey City Free Public Library

Separate articles..(?)

Don't think it's wise to create separate articles for any of the branches, even if they are of special merit. To contextualise much of info would have to be repeated, we see some of it is already in the "history" and "main library" sections. The article JCFPL certainly not too long that a split would be warranted. Djflem (talk) 17:09, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's very fair. I think I was a little overeager at first... -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 18:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff (not needed)

Ready to go?

Think after one more go-thru for small errors and addition of categories article is ready to publish. Yes? Djflem (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, it's looking good! -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 22:40, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MacAddct1984: Pics are great! Thanks for bopping around town to get the shots. Nice adventure..all over the place. I wonder about Communipaw Branch. Seems somehow still vague whether indeed it's opened. As the person "on the ground" I wonder if you'd have time to check sometime. Much appreciation.

It was fun! It was the second time I biked around getting some photos for articles that I noticed didn't have any, as well as ones that were tagged with a photo request.

It would seem as though the Communipaw branch is still not open; I'd think the official site would at least list it. There were some old distraught comments on the instagram post

I notice that no work has been done at the site. When is it expected to open? 98w ago

a year later and no work has been done. Will this branch ever open? 62w ago

And I just found this comment from 08/31/23 on twitter

We haven’t seen any work being done on the closed Lafayette branch or the new branch on Johnston. Can we get an update on when Lafayette branch will reopen? Lafayette has been without a library since February.[1]

I would have thought it would replace the Lafayette Branch, as it would only be ~6 blocks away.

I'll have to track down the bookmobile next! -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
