Resource Room

⚠️ LIBRARY CARD REQUIRED FOR ENTRY

This is it—the exclusive underground rave experience. Pure PACHA NYC energy with EDM legends like Avicii and Swedish House Mafia mixed with contemporary tech-house beats. Strobing lights, fog machines, and wall-to-wall dancing.

No library card? You'll watch cardholders disappear behind the velvet rope while you're stuck outside. (But don't worry—sign up on-site and unlock your access!)

New Jersey Room

Take a breather in this intimate trivia lounge. Test your Jersey City knowledge with hourly competitions, explore vintage maps to find your address, and flip through decades of local yearbooks—all set to the music of New Jersey artists!

Biblioteca Criolla & The Multipurpose Room

The night's crescendo offers two completely different vibes:

Option A - Biblioteca Criolla: Open format Latin music (salsa, reggaeton, bachata)

• 8:00 PM: FREE 30-minute bachata lesson (library cardholders priority)
• 8:30 PM: Assisted salsa dancing with instructor
• 9:00 PM: FREE 30-minute salsa lesson (library cardholders priority)
• 9:30 PM: Assisted salsa dancing with instructor

Option B - Multipurpose Room:

• Largest dance floor of the night
• Hip-hop, Top 40, and crowd favorites

Float between both rooms or commit to one—just like those Choose Your Own Adventure books!
