Route 9 Library

New Castle, Delaware

The Route 9 Library serves as a catalyst for community transformation and as the anchor to the area’s new innovation district. The bold and welcoming design speaks to the library’s role as a 21st century community center by hosting an assortment of program types that promote learning, spark creativity, encourage technological exploration, and foster connectivity: a STEM classroom, Maker Space, Black Box Theater, Café, Scriptorium for developing writing skills, Lego Room, and more.
