Thank you to the Hockessin patrons who visited our branch during Library Snapshot Week in July and filled out a survey! Here's a snapshot of the results!

Friends of the Hockessin Library
Friends of Delaware Libraries

Today marks the end of National Literacy Month. This September, we celebrated reading, connected with residents at our libraries, and highlighted everything New Castle County Libraries have to offer.

This summer, New Castle County Libraries asked our communities to help us understand how they use their libraries. For six days in July, all 14 New Castle County Libraries tracked visits and asked people why they came, how the library has helped them, and what they'd do without it. The results showed us that libraries are about more than books. They're places to learn, connect, get help, access technology, save money, and simply have a place to be.

Thank you to the 1,856 people who shared their experiences with us, and to everyone who makes New Castle County Libraries part of their week.
