It's with a heavy heart that the New Castle Public Library must announce the departure of our Youth Services Librarian, Sara Thomas, which will be taking place at the end of this month. An employee of the New Castle County Public Library System for fifteen years, Sara rose from a part-time circulation aide at the Elsmere Public Library to the full-time Youth Services Librarian at our library, where she was beloved by all the families she worked with over the past few years.
Patrons and members of the community will miss Sara's effervescent "bookside" manners and her unwavering encouragement for literacy and learning among her young patrons, while her coworkers will miss her unwavering loyalty and often ingenious problem solving abilities. While we here at the library will feel our loss of Sara, we look forward to seeing what great things she will doubtlessly achieve in her new position.
The New Castle Public Library will once again be hosting our popular Library After Hours Happy Hour this Friday, July 23 at 7:00pm.

In a continuation of our Summer Reading Program, which is celebrating all things natural and wild this year, the New Castle Public Library will be joining the Hockessin Library to host a virtual screening of the 2017 documentary "Jane" on Friday, July 30 at 7:00pm.
