There are some truly incredible resources available for entrepreneurs, employers, and job-seekers at the Wilmington Library Inspiration Space.

For over ten years, Urban Bike Project has been supporting Wilmington communities by providing access to bicycling as a healthy, affordable and practical means of transportation and recreation.
Here's Paul Waters from the Urban Bike Project to explain what they do:
This Friday, September 30, you can help out by donating any used bikes or bike parts you might have at Rodney Square.
Come on out Friday to Rodney Square to learn more, drop off your bike, or sign up to have your bike picked up on Saturday.
You might also want to learn more about joining up with the Urban Bike Project - it's a great organization that's always looking for more people to get involved!
We have a truly remarkable artistic community in Downtown Wilmington - and this past weekend one of the cornerstones of that community held a fantastic celebration.
Alumni, faculty, and students at the Christina Cultural Arts Center gathered for a block party last Saturday with dance, music, paints, crafts, and so much more!
We are fortunate to have so much talent in Downtown Wilmington.
Our friends at Delaware Today Magazine just published a great article about the way some of Wilmington's great arts venues have grown in recent years.
Here's a sample:
The Queen this year will host about 350 ticketed shows and 150 free ones, plus hundreds of events, from a small business lunch to a blowout bar mitzvah. Musicians who have hit the stage run the gamut, from Philly singer-songwriter Amos Lee to the ascendant Lake Street Dive to classic rocker Dave Mason of Traffic fame.
“It’s been great to see the community rally around us, and to have so much national attention. It’s a lot of pressure, but much more manageable and enjoyable than all that financial pressure I was feeling when I started. The fact that we were able to pull ‘Diner’ off, as technically challenging as it was, is a testament to our team and the commitment everyone here has had to become an integral part of the community’s arts and culture scene.”
“When there’s something going on at The Playhouse, The Grand and our friends down the street at World Cafe Live at The Queen, Market Street is electric,” Fields says. “There’s this energy in the air that everyone feels. People are walking around everywhere, and the restaurants are full. We’re pleased and proud to be part of it and excited to see what the next iteration of downtown Wilmington will be.”

I am proud to be in a community that enjoys and supports these kinds of venues!
