Fifteen branches from Claymont down to Odessa, free to walk into. On a wet afternoon it's the most reliable indoor room in the county — warm, quiet, has a bathroom, nobody minds how long you stay. Hours differ branch to branch and change with the season.
- Newark Free Library is closed for construction. It still shows as open on maps.
- Summer hours run to 6 September 2026 and change after. Ring the branch rather than trust a listing.
- Per-branch hours aren't in this record yet. The branch table gives you the number to call.

Every branch, and when it's open
Every branch keeps its own timetable, and the county publishes them one branch at a time. Rather than print half a week here and have you plan around it, this gives you the address and the number to ring. Newark is shut for construction and is in the table so you don't drive there.
