Broad St.Library relocated 1954,[21][22] now a business complexHistory[edit]A few of the first public libraries created in New Jersey date back to the mid-eighteenth century, more than twenty of which were established and operational by 1800. When the New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) was founded in 1890, upwards of fifty-seven public libraries were established and operating statewide. In 1900, New Jersey state legislature created the Public Library Commission (PLC) as a method to provide support for public libraries.[23] Around this same time, Andrew Carnegie was in the process of assisting communities all across the United States in building, staffing, and providing support for public libraries. During his mission, Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to the construction and operation of thousands of libraries for “the improvement of mankind.”[24]Due in part to his contributions, New Jersey acquired two hundred and three new libraries in those twenty years, bringing the total number of operational public libraries in New Jersey from one hundred and two in 1901 to three hundred and twenty-five in 1920.[23] The state of New Jersey was allocated $1,066,935 across twenty nine communities, which ranked New Jersey as the number eleven state in terms of the number of communities assisted by Andrew Carnegie’s donations. The communities that were assisted ranged from large cities to small towns and contained a diverse selection on economic backgrounds. In these twenty-nine communities, there were twenty-nine main libraries built as well as an additional six branch libraries. At this time, New Jersey as was the sixteenth most populated state and only received fourteen percent of the total granted donated by Andrew Carnegie.[23]^ a b “Avon Public Library”. avonbytheseanj.com.

The Avon Public Library is one of only four Carnegie buildings in Monmouth County, and only one of only seventeen in the State of New Jersey.^ a b At various times, Bobinski and Jones disagree on these numbers. In these cases, Jones’ numbers have been used due to both a more recent publication date and a more detailed gazetteer of branch libraries, which are often where the discrepancies occur.^ Grants for multiple libraries (Camden, East Orange, Elizabeth, and Montclair) are listed only by their total amount, not broken down for each branch.^ Caldwell Public Library^ “Caldwell Public Library \u2013 Preservation New Jersey”.^ a b c d e f g h “Carnegie libraries by state” (PDF).

In 1955, a survey by the State Bureau of Public and School Library Services concluded that Cranford needed a new, larger library building. The Miln Street building was razed in 1962, a year after this photo was taken, and the site is now a parking lot.
