You are cordially invited to the Delaware County District Library’s Holiday Open Houses this weekend, held at all district library locations. Please help us celebrate another successful year at the library while enjoying refreshments and music in a friendly atmosphere.
Star Wars was the theme at the main branch of the Delaware District Library in a special program Tuesday as storm trooper Scott Thomas, left, prepares to battle jedi Mandy Henning and Brian Pauley. Pauley made the costumes for the Star Wars celebration.
You may be surprised to learn that according to a recent study entitled, “Perceptions of Libraries 2010,” teens are among the heaviest library users. While two out of every three Americans have a library card, 75 percent of teens (ages 14–17) have one. The majority (62 percent) of Americans visits their library annually, and teens are even more likely to do so (72 percent).
