Upcoming Public Meetings on the New Newark Library
The Newark Free Library will be experiencing a major upgrade in the next few years. The present building will be torn down, and a two-story facility twice its size is being designed for the current site.
New Castle County has scheduled public meetings about the new library for
Sept. 14 and 16. The county values your input, and an American Sign Language interpreter will be provided at both events.
At the meetings, the architectural firm engaged for the library project, will hold interactive sessions to gather information about the design features most important to library patrons. For more information, see the graphic below.
Elected officers taking the oath.

New changes to Bylaws as of June 6, 2023. Vice President and Secretary will be elected during even numbered years while all other officers are during odd numbered years.
See DAD’s Officer list at https://www.delawaredeaf.org/about-us/officers which states their roles as well. Updated Bylaws will be posted soon.
