The New Castle Public Library is happy to announce the return of our popular Seed Library! Help yourself to a wide variety of seeds, free of charge, as a way to jumpstart your gardening in 2022. The Seed Library is located in the Adult Fiction section of the library, near the turnstiles of paperbacks. We do ask that patrons limit themselves to five packets per library visit, and also remember to write the seeds they've chosen in the log located beside the Seed Library. This will help us keep track of how many seeds are going out the door, and which kinds are most popular!
Those who would like to donate any surplus of seeds they have at their home are more than welcome to drop them off at the reference desk. The library would like to extend our gratitude to those members of our community who have already contributed to our Seed Library. For more information about our Seed Library and how you can contribute, please see our Library Specialist, Nicole Worth.
In an attempt to keep up with demand, the New Castle Public Library is now offering an electronic version of our popular take-home publication BookPage on our website. To read BookPage from the comfort of your own home, please visit https://newcastlelibrary.lib.de.us/bookpage/. Physical copies will still be offered at the library on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you'd like to inquire about getting a copy of any title you see mentioned in BookPage, please stop by our reference desk to see if one of our friendly staff can accommodate you.

Do you have a child under 5? Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a resource that provides a free book each month for children up to their 5th birthday. Each year, the Blue Ribbon Book Selection Committee, a specially selected panel of early childhood experts, reviews hundreds of potential titles for inclusion in the collection. The committee chooses books that meet the different needs of children as they progress from birth to age five. All books are published by Penguin Random House.
