How someone gets a notice to appear in court when you never received an actual parking ticket nor…read moreyou or your car was at the time and date listed on the notice is beyond me .... But here I am - on my day off , in the rain on Halloween in downtown Newark 8:30am in the morning. Smh So there is no free parking. If you drive in- you have to pay to park in one of the parking lots . There is a parking lot in front of the court building . Minimum is $6 and max is $15 . You walk in - go thru security and then you can proceed to the courtroom assigned to you . Bathrooms located . They are very strict on courtroom rules so abide. Most people don't listen and sometimes I found it also hard to hear the staff. Staff seems annoyed and burnt out - not mean but tone of voice you can tell they rather not be there. If you can turn off your cell phones , sit in rows not marked for police or handicap , not eat or drink in courtroom - then you are good . You can't even have the phones out- they have to be put away . It amazing how many people don't pay attention . My time was at 8:30am ... but judge didn't come out until 9:30am. 8:30-9:30am was basically waiting, doing roll call, and talking to prosecutor around 9:15am. You pretty much talk to prosecutor first and discuss whether you want to plead guilt or not guilty. Once you discuss with prosecutor- then you sit again- packed like sardines in the rows and wait for judge to call you Luckily I was like the 5th person called and thankfully I was able to plead my case and support with documentation- and thankfully the judge dismissed my case . The judge and the judgement was the only positive thing for me . That is why I have any stars at all. I was out before 10am Hopefully this info can help someone ...

The Van Buren Branch is the NPL community library that serves the Ironbound in the East Ward. It's…read morein the middle of block between Ferry and Lafayette (it's around the corner from the PNC Bank on Ferry). The library is a sand-colored brick building with a small private parking lot. Like the other NPL branches, it serves the needs of the immediate community and provides library resources for adults and children. The neighborhood is home to a large proportion of residents from Portugal, Brazil, and Latin America. A distinguishing feature of this branch is its available Portuguese-language and Spanish-language collections, as well as library assistance in Portuguese and Spanish. There are computers available for Internet browsing, word processing, and access to the library's electronic resources. This location also offers computer classes. Newark Public Library is a wonderful library. Its branches are essential in supporting the NPL's noteworthy vision and mission. For that, I give the branches 4-stars for the work that its employees and volunteers do to enrich the lives of the people in the community.
