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.
One of the more recent additions to the arsenal of tools the Delaware County District Library has to help us fulfill our mission of being our community’s information provider is the Gale Virtual Reference Library. You can access this current, accurate and authoritative collection of online reference books by clicking on the icon located on the front page of the library’s website, delawarelibrary.org.
During a visit to the Delaware County District Library’s Main Branch, you may have noticed some minor construction and renovations taking place. You may remember that as part of the campaign pledges that the Library made when you approved our levy in 2009 was to update our existing facilities as well as construct the new Orange Branch.
What could be more inviting on a chilly November day that sitting down with a good read and a hot cup of coffee? Did you know that the Delaware County District Library has coffee shops in two of its locations? And did you know that you can bring a cup of coffee or any other beverage in a closed container into the library to sip while you work or relax?
“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.
