As part of my job as director, I spend a great deal of time reading professional literature, keeping up with library trends, concerns and news. I recently ran across an article that I found to be particularly appropriate, in light of the many changes occurring in public libraries. The author is a library director in California, a woman who “tells it like it is” and often cuts right to the heart of the matter.

The quilts are back! The wonderfully talented members of the Delaware Piecemakers Quilt Guild have once again graciously lent their quilts to the Delaware County District Library for a month-long display at the Delaware Main Library, 84 E. Winter St., to celebrate Nation Quilt Month. The quilts, draped artistically from the railing on the mezzanine enhance the Library with color, creativity and warmth.

It’s 10:30 p.m. You’re writing a report for work, and you realize that you need a critical question answered. Even though you’ve searched the Internet, you still haven’t found what you need.

It’s that time of year again, and dozens of you have already visited the Delaware County District Library seeking out tax forms. We have put tables for pre-printed federal, state and local tax forms in the vestibules at all locations for your convenience, but if you don’t find the form you’re looking for, you can always use the library’s Internet computers to search the IRS and Ohio Department of Taxation websites to print the form you need.
With the holidays now pleasant memories, many folks have returned to their regular school schedules. The Delaware County District Library offers a wide menu of support for students of all kinds — traditional, nontraditional — and ages — children, teens and adults.
If you’re confused about which eReader device to buy for yourself or for a gift, don’t despair — the Delaware County District Library is here to help. We have purchased two or three of several different types of eReaders, such as the Nook, Nook Reader, Kindle, Kindle Fire and even iPads in their latest versions, to demonstrate them and to allow you to have a hands-on experience with several devices, all in one place. Unlike retail stores, the library staff won’t encourage you to buy one type of eReader over another; our only goal is to make sure you have all the information you need to buy the one that best suits your needs.

The library’s regular story time schedule is suspended in the last two weeks of December, but these programs are a great alternative.
