Governor’s Weekly Message: Supporting Public Libraries, Building Stronger Communities


(Lewes, DE) – In his weekly message, filmed at the Lewes Public Library, Governor Markell discusses the importance of continued investments in Delaware’s libraries.
“This past week, we celebrated the groundbreaking for what will be the state’s 14th library opening or expansion since 2009, bringing our state’s investment in library construction to nearly thirty million dollars over the past seven years,” said Governor Markell. “By supporting public libraries, we can help give everyone the resources and information they need to increase their knowledge, find new economic opportunities, and build stronger bonds within their communities.”
