GREAT GEEKFEST
BACK TO SCHOOL WITH DCDL
Last year’s first Great GeekFest comic-con was a monstrous success and light years of fun. Over 1,000 people had anime-zing day. This year we’re taking the fun to the Delaware Main Library and Downtown Delaware on Saturday, October 21 from 10 am - 5 pm.
School is in session and homework and projects are on the way. The Library is here to help! From everyday math and science to larger research papers, DCDL can help students of all ages find the information they need. DCDL offers access to a number of subscription databases that can be reached via any computer connected to the internet. These databases can be found under the “Students and Schoolwork” category on the Research page of the Library’s website; www.delawarelibrary.org/research.
comic-con 2017
This year, the GeekFest will once again fill the library with vendors, cosplay, kids activities, gaming and great speakers including Grace Ellis of LumberJanes, and Todd Robbins of the iD series ‘True Nightmares.’ View the full schedule at delawarelibrary.org/ggf.
Friends of the Library The Friends of the Delaware County District Library are hosting their final book sale of the year this fall. Delaware September 29: 5 - 8 PM September 30: 9 AM - 4 PM October 1: 12 - 3 PM
The results from these databases are current and reliable resources for all students. For help with these databases, or any other type of research question, please ask any DCDL librarian to help find the right source. Beyond these resources, DCDL is a great place to come and do whatever kind of studying students may need. Take advantage of the studious amenities the Library offers, from quiet study spaces and private study rooms that can be reserved, to the free Wi-Fi, computers, and laptops available at every branch.
