This is an interview discussing the donation of Roth’s collection of books to the Newark Public Library after his death.  The board hopes that the collection will make the library a “literary destination”.

I think it's a good idea to add and focus on a collection that can possibly bring in more people into the library, and may also lead to more grant possibilities in the future.
