Dear Newarkers,<\/p>\n

As one of the oldest public libraries in the country and the largest municipal library in New Jersey, the Newark Public Library has a long history of serving\u00a0all<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0residents of the City of Newark, including new immigrants. We recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion and understand that strong societies only exist where there is also a system of mutual respect.<\/p>\n

We are profoundly saddened by the President\u2019s cruel and shameful decision to rescind DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that was put into place to protect children. We do not believe the decision is reflective of our values or our tradition. We call on Congress to act now to protect those potentially affected and reassure them that they have a place in a country they already call home.<\/p>\n

To all those affected by this\u00a0decision, please know that the library is a safe and welcoming place.<\/p>\n

-Jeffrey Trzeciak, Director of the Newark Public Library<\/p>\n

      Al ser una de las bibliotecas p\u00fablicas m\u00e1s antiguas del pa\u00eds y la biblioteca municipal m\u00e1s grande de Nueva Jersey, la Biblioteca P\u00fablica de Newark tiene una larga historia de servir a todos<\/strong> los residentes de la ciudad de Newark, incluidos los nuevos inmigrantes. Reconocemos la importancia de la diversidad y la inclusi\u00f3n, y entendemos que solo existen sociedades fuertes donde tambi\u00e9n existe un sistema de respeto mutuo.<\/p>\n

      Estamos profundamente entristecidos por la cruel y vergonzosa decisi\u00f3n del Presidente de rescindir DACA, la Ley de Acci\u00f3n Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia, un programa que se puso en marcha para proteger a los ni\u00f1os. No creemos que la decisi\u00f3n refleje nuestros valores o nuestra tradici\u00f3n. Hacemos un llamado al Congreso para que act\u00fae ahora para proteger a los potencialmente afectados y asegurarles que tienen un lugar en un pa\u00eds al que ya llaman hogar.<\/p>\n

      A todos los afectados por esta decisi\u00f3n, sepan que la biblioteca es un lugar seguro y acogedor.<\/p>\n
