In an increasingly hectic and digital world, the Newark Free Library provide a haven where people can feel welcomed, respected, and free to explore their interests and passions without judgment or discrimination from its staff.

Support this library -- and all other local public libraries.

Cozy little small-town library!…read more Centrally located with plenty of parking and easily accessible, this little space has plenty going on. While the building might not hold a huge collection, the new book section is extensive and books on hold arrive fairly quickly from the Delaware Library network. I've taken a free craft class here and have send signage for plenty of kid & family friendly free events. The kids section looks large and there's rarely been a visit where I haven't seen some kind of family or kid event going on there so probably a great destination option. Librarians and staff are friendly and helpful and any checkout lines move very quickly. Pro tip: Sign up for their newsletter and you'll get a consistent reminder of all the events they have going!

It's pretty big & has many computers as well as the "den" area where there's plenty of kids toys.

Each and every time I go there for any of my classes, they are completely out of stock for any textbooks needed and tell me to order it online and that they couldn't tell me how long it'll approximately take to come in.
