Keep on top of library hours

If the weather so far this win­ter is any indi­ca­tion, it’s likely that we are in for a snowy few weeks! When the weather turns ugly, unex­pected clo­sures are likely to occur at the Delaware County Dis­trict Library. We cer­tainly do not want to incon­ve­nience you in any way; how­ever, for your safety and the safety of our staff, the library will always and imme­di­ately close when the Delaware County Sher­iff issues a Level 2 or Level 3 snow emer­gency, and will remain closed until the level has been reduce or canceled.

Bringing in the new year with the library

Christ­mas 2012 is now his­tory, with all its excite­ment, hus­tle and bus­tle and joy. I hope yours was wonderful.

Holiday cheer continues at libraries with Muppets, dogs, cooking

Happy hol­i­days from the Board of Trustees and the staff of the Delaware County Dis­trict Library. This time of year is cer­tainly filled with fam­ily and friends, and to allow the library staff to enjoy time with their fam­i­lies, we will be closed on Christ­mas Eve and Christ­mas Day. All branches will resume their reg­u­lar hours on Wednes­day with sev­eral ter­rific pro­grams scheduled.

Another option for that end-of-year donation

As 2012 draws to a close, many of us will be con­sid­er­ing our end-of-the year dona­tions to var­i­ous orga­ni­za­tions and agen­cies. If you have never thought about donat­ing to the Delaware County Dis­trict Library, per­haps this year is the per­fect time to do so.

Changes ahead for Powell Branch Library

As part of our con­tin­u­ing efforts to ful­fill our cam­paign promises, the Delaware County Dis­trict Library’s Pow­ell Branch is cur­rently under­go­ing some pretty major ren­o­va­tions. We lis­tened to what you said, and we are mak­ing sig­nif­i­cant changes to make the Pow­ell Branch more respon­sive to the needs of the community.

Libraries are wise to forge community relationships

One of the core beliefs of the Delaware County Dis­trict Library is to be good stew­ards of the pub­lic funds entrusted to us, and to me that trans­lates into form­ing part­ner­ships and col­lab­o­ra­tions in our com­mu­nity, to save money and to max­i­mize resources.

Giving thanks for the Delaware County Library

Thanks­giv­ing is tra­di­tion­ally the time to take a few moments to reflect on that for which we are thank­ful. I would like to take this oppor­tu­nity to express my grat­i­tude to the Delaware com­mu­nity for your con­tin­ued, more-than-a-century long sup­port of the library, sup­port that began in 1855 with the first move­ment to build a library in Delaware. In 1897, a group of stal­wart women took it upon them­selves to start a library with 30 books.
