SUMMER READING CLUB PREVIEW:
READY. SET. READ. Summer Reading Club is just around the corner and
DCDL has something new to share. This summer you and your kids will be able to track your reading hours online with our new online option. By creating an account, your entire family can be organized in one place and read to earn their six and 12 hour prizes. Prizes will still be claimed in person at your local branch. Registration opens in April at delawarelibrary.org/src2016. This summer’s theme is Ready. Set. Read. Every branch will be holding sport and fitness themed programs. So get ready to become Library All-Stars this summer!
DCDL WEBSITE GOES MOBILE

COVER MODEL Online Book Group KELLEN FREEMAN
GETS DCDL INTO GAMES
This Check It Out’s cover model is circulation associate Kellen Freeman. Kellen has been with DCDL since 2013 working primarily at the Delaware Main Library. He attended California University of Pennsylvania for his bachelor’s degree and is currently finishing his master’s degree from Kent State Univeristy where he’ll graduate with his Master of Library and Information Science in May. Kellen is the mastermind behind DCDL’s table top gaming collection. He was first introduced to gaming by friends in college playing Settlers of Catan. After that, his loving of table top gaming grew. In the spring of 2014, Kellen began working on bringing circulating games to DCDL and they debuted a year ago in spring 2015. This year, he hopes to extend the table top games collection to have a set displayed at the Orange Branch Library.
