Non-profit and civic organizations will be permitted to use our meeting rooms at the Ocean Pines and Berlin branches, beginning May 17. The rooms will operate at 25-percent capacity.  Due to orders by Governor Hogan, masks are no longer required to enter the library.  The use of masks and social distancing are highly encouraged to protect any vulnerable and at-risk staff and visitors to the library.  Restrictions may change depending on state and local guidelines, including input from the Worcester County Health Department.

The Library Board is seeking two Trustees to serve the Newark and Pocomoke areas.  Please see our application here: https://worcesterlibrary.org/about/board-trustees

Worcester County Library has been selected as a recipient of a $1,000 Beanstack Black Voices Microgrant. We’re excited to share this news and what it means for our community!  The library has created a Teen Reading Challenge on Beanstack and will use the grant money to provide prizes. Participating teens will select books to read by authors from a variety of backgrounds, highlighting the rich diversity of the American experience. Each book they read will earn them a chance to win one of two $500.00 grand prizes!
