The Delaware Gazette

Parking challenge at main branch

With the num­ber of items checked out in 2010 top­ping 1,062,000, the Delaware County Dis­trict Library is a very busy place. About 7000 peo­ple walk through the doors of the Delaware Branch every week, to check out items, use the com­put­ers, read, study, relax, and oth­er­wise take advan­tage of the ser­vices offered. As happy as we are to be such a vital asset to the Delaware com­mu­nity, being so busy comes with its own set of prob­lems, specif­i­cally park­ing challenges.
