Painted pinecone flowers used as part of a DCDL outreach project.

During a Delaware County District Library (DCDL) outreach storytime, children learned about our services in the community and helped paint pinecones to craft into flowers. These flowers were distributed to our patrons on the bookmobile at local assisted and independent living communities. We snapped pictures of the patrons receiving the flowers and brought them back to the next storytime to show the children. They were excited to see their painted pinecone flowers and one preschooler shouted "Cool!" Our patrons loved receiving the flowers and seeing pictures of the children painting. The result is a great community connection between outreach services to younger and older patrons!
