Delaware Public Libraries are good for your health. They offer more than just books, movies and music. Libraries promote literacy, bring people together, and support learning at all ages. You can check out free family passes to area parks and attractions. Libraries are often the hosts of community meetings for many of our state’s health and wellness programs, such as the Behavioral Health Consortium, PIC and Books, Balls & Blocks for developmental screening events. They can be a location for telehealth needs, a private space for teleconnection, a meeting space for support groups and a safe space for community members.
Our libraries offer everything from at home COVID tests to the loan of blood pressure cuffs, technology tools for all ages and wifi hotspots. Libraries in New Castle and Kent Counties also have Social Workers from the DHSS Community Partner Support Unit available for scheduled appointments to assist with a variety of needs. It is truly a library system of information, connections and things.
