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.
