Pedro E Penaloza “Mr. Penaloza” grew up in Newark and went to Milani Elementary. From there, he graduated from Newark Memorial and continued with college. As a child, he used to like going to the Library. He found himself visiting the Newark Library quite often to check out books, do homework, and use the computers since it wasn’t always easy getting access to a computer. He sometimes also volunteered at the public library to teach computer skills. Currently, he’s considering going back and finishing school to get a degree in Library Information Science to become a future Librarian.
