Grant Recipient Spotlight
The Wilmington Library and the North Wilmington Branch Library operate as a single public library system serving residents of Wilmington and New Castle County.
There is evidence, via a hand-written receipt for dues, that the Wilmington Library was first incorporated in 1754. Today, the Library is determined to be a driving force behind the stabilization of North Wilmington.
With help from Welfare Foundation and other funders, the North Wilmington Library branch is expanding and more than doubling its space.
