In a ceremony held at his Legislative Hall office on Thursday, Governor Meyer officially proclaimed March 12, 2026 as ‘Delaware Libraries Day’ to commemorate the 125th anniversary of library services throughout the First State.
The signing event brought together cabinet members, state legislators, library advocates, students, and library personnel from across Delaware to witness the historic proclamation.
The milestone celebration comes as Delaware’s library system works toward an ambitious objective: ensuring every resident in the state holds an active library card. This initiative aims to expand access to educational resources, technology, and community programming offered through the state’s library network.
The proclamation recognizes more than a century of library services that have provided Delaware residents with access to books, digital resources, educational programs, and community gathering spaces since the late 1800s.
