Having
opened in 1957, the Niagara Branch Library, located on 280 Porter Ave, has serviced
the West Side for more than 50 years. In hopes of remaining open, the Niagara
Branch schedules monthly events, after school programs, and updated library
items that draw West Side residents through its doors. By Mackenzie Clarke and Cheri St. Croix
