I am elated to give a review of this Library. I was attending another one in my area. However,…read morethis is my number one place to go at least twice a week. The staff are very accommodating. I had an emergency project for an event that Jessica and Karen Helped me to nail. Now I am certified and can jump in myself with assistance. I also have done projects in the media room, with Karen, and I reserve space to work in the study rooms. I truly appreciate this place, a happy place for me, "My office" 4 Real!

The space is stunning and gorgeous and huge and better than I could've imagined with every resource a library could have!

Whether you're a young family, a student of any age, or a wfh adult, go support this gorgeous place by visiting, checking out a book, or attending one of their dozens of unique events!

Let me start by saying I worked in New Castle County for 28 years until 2015 and I never thought…read moreabout writing a review. My bad. - They have a great County Police system. - They have a fantastic countywide parks program of which i partook of by fitness walking, biking or just closing my eyes in the car at lunch in one of their parks. I have friends in NCC so I still visit their parks and dog parks. - They have a a National Guard Base. - Located inside Newcastle County is the great New Castle County farmers market. Amish farmers bring their meats and wares as well as other local merchants. -it's the first county you hit when entering Delaware from the north. - Tax free shopping. That's the best part of all and the best note on which to end this review.

It's a nice place to stretch your legs during a day of exploring New Castle, especially if it's a pretty day. But the views can be a little industrial, and I wouldn't say it's a must see if you have a day to explore New Castle.

I really liked this park. Close to downtown. Ran along the water, which was very pretty. My only…read morenegative comment is that there is no path from the parking lot to get to the path on the water, you just had to walk over grass and uneven ground, which is difficult with a stroller or if you have difficulties walking.

It's small, but it has a dedicated children section and then in the larger area it has several computers you can use for e-mail, etc. It's actually pretty nice for as small as it is, and the staff seemed very friendly and quick to help. Not a bad place to visit if you need a book, but I do think the library in Abingdon is larger.

If walking gets to be too much, flag down a roving golf cart, for a lift. Nemours Estate was built for Alfred duPont's second wife. (Don't ask about the first. Divorce!) Actually the third wife, Jessie, was the 'love of his life.' 77 rooms -- they never had to wait for a bathroom! -- 47,000 sf, 220 spectacular acres. Designed by Carrere & Hastings (famed architects of NY's 42nd Street Library) the massive project was completed in an astonishing eighteen months. Tours are self-guided with friendly and informative docents throughout. In addition to the mansion, which in its opulent way DOES feel like a family home, there's the garage and gift shop. The shop was formerly the estate's laundry room with machinery and such still in tact. I was happy to learn that the duPonts didn't take their station in life lightly. Besides endowing the world-renowned children's hospital on their property, Mr. duPont, according to a guide, implemented a sort of social security system for local retirees. I hope that story is true!
