Seed Libraries

Worcester County Library is excited to announce new Seed Libraries available at the Berlin, Pocomoke, and Snow Hill branches. This service is part of the Cooking up Health: A Nourishing Neighbors Program, a robust diabetes prevention program developed by the Worcester County Health Department. A huge thank you to CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield for funding the Cooking up Health Project for our community.

Important Update Regarding Hoopla Services

Eastern Shore Regional Library, Inc. has announced that effective June 1, 2026, it will no longer offer Hoopla, a digital media service that many patrons of the Worcester County Library have come to use and love.

 

While Hoopla has been a popular service for patrons of the Worcester County Library, “pay-per-use" models have become increasingly difficult for libraries to sustain. Because costs increase alongside popularity, this model has reached a point where it is no longer fiscally sustainable for the regional library system.

BookPage - Find Your Next Great Read!

June 2025 cover of BookPage publication

Just in time for summer reading, Worcester County Library is now offering copies of BookPage at each library branch as well as a digital copy. BookPage is a great way to find out about new titles across all genres. The monthly publication includes author interviews and timely, seasonal books. Take a look to find your next read!

Service changes to Hoopla, effective April 1

The Worcester County Library will implement a daily spending cap for Hoopla services starting April 1, 2025, due to the increased cost of Hoopla Digital funded by the Eastern Shore Regional Library, Inc.
 

What this means for you

  • Once the library's daily budget for Hoopla checkouts is reached, no further checkouts will be allowed until the following day.
