The staff of the New castle Public Library thanks all our patrons, friends and visitors who supported our bake sale and the Friends’ book sale on Separation Day. Both events were well-attended and raised a goodly amount of money for the library.
Registration for all of the Summer Reading Clubs is still open, in case you haven’t signed up for one yet. Join a club; read lots of books; win prizes for doing so. What could be easier?

For everyone who had intended to donate surplus gently-used books to the Friends’ annual sale last week but forgot to, do not despair.
