The Children's department is managed by a full-time children's librarian. We offer special programming for children to help increase literature and install the love of reading. The library staff look forward to helping children with their homework assignments and other information needs. The Library also has a growing collection of DVDs and CD-ROMs. Knowledgeable Library staff are available for assistance should you require any help finding or selecting materials.
Most materials are on a first come, first serve basis.
To maintain its excellent collection, the library must charge a service fee for the use of its audio-visual materials. If the Wilmington Public Library system does not own requested materials, we will try to borrow the materials from other libraries in a nationwide search. The library from which the material is borrowed determines the borrowing period for requested materials. We may try to renew the material once, but the lending library gives final approval for renewals. The library has a variety of special programs for children and adults through the year.
