A violent labor strike, a private meeting in Andrew Carnegie’s home office, a petition by Upper Montclair residents, and the emergence of a new profession for women all played into the creation of the Bellevue Avenue Branch Library, a jewel-box of a building and community resource that will celebrate its 110th birthday this year.
This program was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
