Women’s History Month at the JCFPL

This Women’s History Month, the Jersey City Free Public Library (JCFPL) invites you to explore, learn, and celebrate the achievements of women throughout history. In keeping with our Purpose and Commitments, we are proud to offer a selection of resources that not only educate but inspire.

Additionally, we invite you to learn about the Jersey City Free Public Library’s new Pop-Up Library initiative, in partnership with Baker & Taylor, which offers Jersey City residents instant, free access to e-books and audiobooks in English and Spanish through a simple QR code scan, no library card required, embodying our commitment to lifelong learning.

Resources
