Newark Free Library
Branch of the New Castle County (Delaware) Library System
Link to November 29 Delaware News Journal article, "NCCo planning new libraries to balance increased demand".
Excerpt: The Claymont project, estimated to cost $7.4 million, is the next of several improvements to the county’s library system planned over the next two decades.
Aside from Claymont, county officials have plans to open six new libraries in seven years and make more space available at the Bear Public Library. County Council will vote on a new county library master plan next month.
Four new libraries would be in growth areas south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, another in the Glasgow area and a sixth within the Del. 9 and U.S. 13 corridor on Wilmington's south side. The new libraries would cost up to $38 million.
Additional facilities also would by 2017 add $4.5 million to annual operating costs for the libraries, which have seen hours and days of operation reduced in recent years because of budget constraints.
