Public Engagement about the Newark Free Library on Sept 14 at 6:30-8pm (at Newark Senior Center) and Sept 16 at 10:30a-12pm (at the Aetna Hose Hook and Ladder). ASL Interpreters provided.

Upcoming Public Meetings on the New Newark Library

The Newark Free Library will be experiencing a major upgrade in the next few years. The present building will be torn down, and a two-story facility twice its size is being designed for the current site.

New Castle County has scheduled public meetings about the new library for
Sept. 14 and 16. The county values your input, and an American Sign Language interpreter will be provided at both events.

At the meetings, the architectural firm engaged for the library project, will hold interactive sessions to gather information about the design features most important to library patrons. For more information, see the graphic below.
