The Newark Public Library is fundraising for the creation
of the Philip Roth Personal Library. Home to Roth's personal
collection, the Library will be a dynamic space for visitors
to experience exhibits, discussions and workshops that emulate
Roth’s thought-provoking and sometimes controversial perspective.
Philip Roth often recounted how the Newark Library positively
impacted his life, and we are honored to be the beneficiary
of his generous bequest.

advance Roth’s profound legacy as one of America’s greatest fiction
writers.Please donate today to help keep Philip Roth’s Newark story alive.
