Library additions urged after protest at Crozer Public Library
Chester East End residents protested the lack of a Black Culture section and Spanish language books at J. Lewis Crozer Public Library on Eagle Street. About 15 adults and children urged reopening plans for Deshong Museum and criticized no inter library loan or movie lending. Sister Carla said the gathering was informal and noted many children got cards but could not be served due to missing Spanish titles. Library staff expressed sympathy, hoping a new director will address the issues as a committee interviews applicants for the $18,000 year post.
