READY. SET. READ!
In 2015 more than 7,500 readers read over 36,000 hours! Let’s make it our goal to top that in 2016!
This summer we want you to keep your mind and body strong. That’s why our summer reading theme is Ready. Set. Read! From May 28 - July 23 DCDL locations will be hosting weekly programs for every age group and the whole family. With reading triathalons & library field days, we’ll keep you active from head to toe all summer. New this summer, you can sign up and track your hours online! Register at delawarelibrary.org/SRC2016.
COLOR YOUR HEART OUT
Thanks to a $1,000 donation from the Delaware Arts Festival Association, DCDL now has its very own adult coloring book collection featuring more than 120 books and 70 unique titles. Adult coloring books showcase intricate designs and fine details that are used for therapy, relaxation and to express creativity. Patrons can check out up to two coloring books at a time, and can keep them for two weeks. Show off what you color and see other creations by tagging #DCDLcolors on your social media posts.

She likes playing outside (especially jump rope and swimming), dolls and Minecraft, all of which she will be filling her summer vacation with. Some of her favorite books include Bad Kitty, A Dark Dark Tale, Frog and Toad and anything by Eric Carle or Bill Martin. In the fall she likes to work on her cheerleading moves and is looking forward to picking up her pom poms again soon!
