MAPLEWOOD — The Maplewood and Newark public libraries will both receive state grants to help them expand adult literacy services.

New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) announced the 14 recipients of $1.1 million on Jan. 8, awarding funding through the Community Library Adult Literacy and Career Pathway program (CLALCP).



"Our libraries have always been the cornerstones of our communities, and this program will provide these important partners with resources they need to offer literacy and career services," said Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo.
