"That one dude" (Mychal Threets) made a lot of good points about libraries... They are amazing places! 😃

Libraries are indeed amazing places to read a book, borrow one or research papers. There's so much more to do at the library. 📚

Re-introducing our SPRING RAFFLE! 😍

These great prize baskets were a big hit at their debut at May Market... but if you missed us there, it's not too late! Tickets can still be purchased at the Library through the end of A Day in Old New Castle this weekend, after which the drawing will be held!

A Day in Old New Castle is Saturday from 10am to 4pm. If you come in on Saturday, also be sure to check out the historical minatures exhibit that will be on display!

Raffle Tickets are $2 each, or get three for $5. 🎟 Learn more about what's in each basket in the captions. All proceeds support our work on behalf of the library.

Good Luck! 🤞
