“Delaware Artists Are Inspired by Books.” What a lovely idea! And what a lovely exhibit of several pieces of art created by members of the Delaware Artists Guild that is currently on display at the Delaware County District Library’s Main Library, 84 E. Winter St. Featuring several different types of media and artistic techniques, the exhibit highlights books that gave the artists inspiration to create.
A remarkable event occurred at the Delaware County District Library this week. The library’s circulation (the number of items you have checked out) surpassed one million for the year, and as of this writing, the number stands at 1,007,538. Thank you, Delaware, for your support of the library.

Libraries + books +people who love to read = book discussion groups. I would guess that people have been getting together to discuss books for as long as books have been around, and millions of discussion groups meet each year even now.

Keeping track of your personal financial history is becoming more and more complicated these days, as credit card companies change their rules, new regulatory laws are enacted, and our exposure to fraud and identity theft increases. The libraries in Delaware County want to help you understand your credit report with a program entitled, “Credit Reports: Reading Your Credit Report” offered at two locations in the next few days.
The Delaware County District Library invites you to a very special program entitled “Disappearing Landscapes” featuring nationally known local artist Linda Wesner, who will discuss her passion for landscapes, particularly those in Delaware County. Wesner has been a resident intermittently for 25 years, but since her last return, she noticed that beautiful scenes are disappearing daily, and she is trying to capture the rural side of Delaware County before it vanishes to growth and development.
