The staff of the New Castle Public Library thanks all our patrons, friends and neighbors for making this year’s Separation Day Book Sale and Bake Sale especially successful. We hope you enjoyed last Saturday’s activities as much as we did. We look forward to seeing you at the library in the coming week for any or all of the following planned events.
Monday, June 17: Register now to receive one-on-one computer assistance at our Computer & Job Search Help clinic for adults between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Kids of all ages are invited to participate in our Arts & Crafts program entitled “Space Craft,” which begins at 3 PM. “Whale Rider,” our Cultural Film for this month, will be shown starting at 6:30 PM. The movie is rated PG-13.
Tuesday, June 18: Crafty Story Time begins as always at 10:30 AM for kids 2 and older. Our first Free Summer Lunch, courtesy of Colonial School District, will be served from noon until 1 PM for kids 4 -18. The free lunches will be served on Tuesdays and Fridays until mid-August, except for the first week of July. We recommend that you sign up now for the lunch program so we can ensure that we will have sufficient food for every child and to avoid food waste. You may sign up for individual meals or reserve your seat for the entire summer. Reservations may be made in person at the reference desk or by calling the library at 302-328-1995. GED in Spanish begins at 6:30 PM. To register for the GED course, call (302) 737-2001 or e-mail ivana.darold.dominguez@gmail.com. At 7 PM Eric Mease from DE Humanities will present a fascinating program entitled “We Came in Peace: 50 years on the moon” in which he will discuss the people, air and space crafts, politics, tragedies and the competition surrounding the American moon landing. For those of you 50 years and older, can you remember where you were when the Eagle landed and Neil Armstrong took his famous “giant step for mankind” on July 20, 1969?
Wednesday, June 19: Weather permitting, our first weekly “Stories in the Park” will be held from 10 to 11 AM in Battery Park and is open to story lovers and crafts fans of all ages. STREAM will begin at 3 PM (please note the new time) for kids 8-15 who enjoy science, technology, reading, art and/or math.
