We are grateful for all our patrons and hope that everyone is able to celebrate Thanksgiving safely this year. We continue to offer a new craft activity and a STEM project each week in the Children's Room. These are designed for preschool age children.
Ongoing Events in November
Visit our online calendar for more information and to register for these events.
Read with a Librarian
Sign up to have a librarian read with your child. Depending on your child's age and reading ability your child might want to only be read to OR they may read to us!  This a great opportunity to gain reading confidence and encourage a love for reading.
Once you register we will be in touch with you by Sunday evening to schedule a time that works best for your schedule between 9am-12pm. You may also select books on Hoopla for practicing readers so that a librarian may follow along (that is optional).
This program is best for Toddlers/Preschooler through age 9.
Mondays virtually on Ring Central from 9 AM-12 PM.
Family Storytime
For kids of all ages with an adult. Program will be in the Lecture Hall and limited to five families per session. Families will enjoy stories, songs, and rhymes. A craft will be available to take home.

Mother Goose on the Loose
Join Miss JoJo for lots of songs, rhymes, stories and silliness! This program is for babies through Pre-K, siblings are always welcome.

We are working hard to keep our online programming safe for our young patrons. You will be required to submit your library card info upon registering as this program is for patrons of DPL only. Once you are registered you will be pending approval for safety precautions. Once approved, you will be provided with a secure link to our virtual session via Ring Central.

Celebrate Family Literacy Month
During November, we will have activities and information for you to take home and share with your family. Ask a librarian for a read aloud suggestion. Make reading a part of your daily routine.

Take & Make Pillow
Marielle Carpentier, creator of the Mill sculpture pictured on the left, will offer a Take and Make Pillow activity, available starting on November 2. Included with the materials kits will be a link to instructions on how to make the pillow. Kits will be available in the Children's Room while supplies last.
We want to hear your story! Starting in November, we are partnering with StoryCorps, whose mission is to preserve and share humanity's stories. Family stories, local history, or currents events are all great topics for conversations. You can record your story by visiting archive.storycorps.org and creating an account. Pick up instructions or ask a librarian if you need help getting started.
