Note from the Director

As we move into Spring, many of our teens are thinking about Jr. and Sr. Prom. Do you have a prom dress or suit that is taking up space in your closet? Bring it to our Prom Closet Exchange! Between now and May 13, we are collecting prom formal wear. Clothing will be available in the hallway outside of the Children's Room during regular library hours from March 31 through June 3. 

Spring Break for many area schools will be happening in the next few weeks. Are you looking for activities to keep your kids busy? Check out a Museum Pass! We have Passes for many of your favorite cultural institutions in our region. And with the weather improving, many outdoor places are soon to be opening up for the season! Passes are available for a 3 day loan to any Delaware County Library System adult cardholder in good standing. For more information and to see what passes we have, click here.

We are pleased to announce that April’s First Friday Matinee movie is the Oscar-nominated film The Fabelmans which is Steven Spielberg's coming-of-age story about a young man's love of film. Join us on Friday, April 7 at 1 pm in the Community Room. No registration is required.

It would not be possible to bring you all of these amazing programs and services without your support. If you have made a donation to our Annual Appeal, thank you! Please consider a gift or an additional gift to the Library today! To make a donation click here. We are grateful to you and look forward to seeing you in the Library soon!

Warm Regards,



Sukrit Goswami, Library Director
