New Germantown Public School Library (Oldwick, N.J.)
Founded by teacher Edward Park in 1880 in New Germantown, N.J., in rural Tewksbury Township; village was renamed Oldwick in 1918 and the library played an important role in the community for nearly a century. When founded the library was located on the second floor of Main Street's Barnet Hall and was open to the public for one hour a week. An independent organization, it was never part of the local school system. The library closed its bank account in 1956 when the renovated building opened as a community center. Its book collection was donated to various people and organizations in 1970.
