The Newark Free Library offers thousands of classic books and current bestsellers (as well as more rare and obscure titles) to entertain and enliven. Spend an afternoon reading on one of the library's cozy couches, or check out your books to relax at home. There's something satisfying about the heft and feel of a physical book, but if you want the space-saving convenience of digital books, you'll be glad to know that Newark Free Library also offers electronic check-outs for your e-reader or tablet, as well as traditional audio books and DVDs.

This library also has a robust community programming schedule, including events like weekly children's storytime hours, homework help for kids and teens, popular film screenings, and a genealogy research center for anyone who is interested in tracing their family heritage. You can also brush up on your basic software skills by signing up for one of the library's computer literacy classes.

If you have an interest in home restoration—while watching other people do all the work!—you’ll love HGTV’s hours of programming dedicated to home renovations. Here are two of the network’s most popular home makeover shows.

Beachfront Bargain Hunt
While beachfront properties can be very expensive, the budget-savvy homebuyers on Beachfront Bargain Hunt get the most bang for their buck by purchasing fixer-uppers and, well, fixing them up. Watch as dingy old beach huts are transformed into glamorous getaways right along the shore, and you’ll find yourself dreaming of the ocean yourself.

House Hunters
To someone who loves home design, there are few things more fascinating than getting a sneak peak at someone during their home buying process. HGTV’s House Hunters is the network’s cornerstone program—and for good reason. The show follows a very vast variety of different types of people as they search for condos, single-family homes, apartments, and even old firehouses turned into industrial city lofts in just about every city across the country.
