Join us on Saturday, July 3rd at 2 pm for a magic show! Ashkenazi, the Pretty Good is back to delight and wow us with his magic show. This is a free event, provided through the generous support of the Newark Library League. Get here a little early to grab a seat in the Children’s Area of the library.
This Saturday from 2 – 2:45 we will be hosting the group Math-Science Nucleus that has been so popular at Fremont Main. Come see their projects develop and learn about the wonder of water. There will be some stories read to the children as well. Don’t be late for this educational spectre!

Please consider joining the Newark Library League! They do great work (and it all benefits the library – and you!) All money raised by the Newark Library League goes to the library. The money pays for all of our programs (children, teen and adult programs), which allows us to make them free to the public. The Library League also pays for art supplies for our craft programs, gives the library money to buy extra books and materials and more.
Joining the Newark Library League is easy and membership dues are fairly inexpensive. A family membership costs $20 a year and an individual membership costs just $15 a year. If you aren’t sure about joining, consider making a small donation to the Library League. All money the Library League earns goes back to the community and ensures that the library can provide free programs for the community. Pick up an application form at the Newark Library on your next visit.
