Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and State of Delaware Bond Bill funding, the new Duck Creek Regional Library is now a reality! We are thrilled to open our doors and welcome everyone into a space designed to connect residents of the Smyrna School District like never before.
What was once limited space is now a vibrant hub filled with expanded programs, modern resources, and inviting areas for learning, gathering, and exploring. This achievement would not have been possible without your support—thank you for making this vision come to life.
If you’d like to stay connected and help us continue our mission, we invite you to join the Friends of the Duck Creek Regional Library. We meet every 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm right here at the library. It’s a great way to get involved, share ideas, and make a difference in our community.
Libraries help "level the playing field" and ensure that no child is left behind. Libraries not only have significant impact on students personal and educational development, but have a positive impact on learning.
Our new facility will house both desktop and laptop computers. The recommendation is to have the number of personal computers equal to one PC for every 20 library visits per day.
With meeting and presentation spaces, work and study spaces, a Children's area, and more - we will foster a sense of community and collaboration. The new Library facility will be a social, cultural and educational center for our community.
The staff will be always eager to provide assistance and referrals to the community. Additionally, the all-inclusive, safe and friendly environment will be a unique forum for social networking, book clubs and reading groups.
"The Smyrna Library is small with limited resources. It is primarily book driven and the new library will have more computers and technology and be able to better satisfy the needs of Smyrna and the region."
"Downtown Smyrna is making a huge effort to revive itself and having this new library will really help the area."
"(The Smyrna Library) got money a few years ago to make repairs and improvements but it’s just too small to serve its purpose. They are in desperate need of a new building."
