We need Friends who can lend a hand for various activities coming up in 2022. Whether you are a social butterfly or a total bookworm, NCLF needs your help to gear up for a great year!
The Book Room – where our collection of gently-used tomes lives in the library basement between sales – has been reorganized to make sorting a breeze, and has donations arriving regularly. If you’d like to join fellow bibliophiles as part of an ongoing team that can check on our ‘Intake’ shelves regularly, sort new donations, and keep the room in order, please reach out!
May Market Book Sale, Friday, May 6th and Saturday, May 7th. We will need help to cover shifts at our tables and to help move our materials to and from the Arsenal, before and after the event. Arasapha Garden Club has graciously kept the Friends on as their sole non-food vendor for this year’s 80th Anniversary event, and they also need volunteers.
A Day in Old New Castle, Sunday, May 21st. We are excited to announce that planning for the 98th A Day In Old New Castle day is well underway! This event is a major fundraiser supporting the New Castle Library Friends, our community partners & organizations and local residents. Volunteer assistance will include ticket sales, staffing information tables, and being available to answer questions and distribute event guides.
Please e-mail nclibraryfriends@gmail.com if you have some time to help out with one of the needs above, or for something else!

Literacy Tutor |
NCLF, in collaboration with Literacy Delaware, a non-profit organization, sponsors a literacy initiative and is looking for volunteers interested in tutoring adults with low literacy or English language skills. For over 33 years, Literacy Delaware has provided free tutoring services to adults in New Castle County. They currently have a waiting list of more than 35 people anxious to learn to read, or write, or to learn basic English language skills. Literacy Delaware will provide the training, pair the tutors with the learners, assess the learners before and after 60 hours of instruction, and provide curriculum, resources and support. Tutors meet with a learner(s) at a time and place convenient to them both, generally the library. If you are interested in being a volunteer tutor, please contact us at nclibraryfriends@gmail.com.
