May Focus: Friends of the Library

Friends of DCDL

Have you met our Friends? The Friends of the Delaware County District Library has a 16-year history of supporting your Delaware County District Libraries. This past year, the Friends worked diligently to fundraise more than $50,000 to help equip the new Maker Studio at Liberty Branch Library. The campaign continues with a goal of $150,000 to create an endowment for future Maker Studio enhancements at both Studio locations. The Friends have a brand new space at Liberty Branch, and they'd love for you to join them. Be sure to come to this month's book sale or stop by Liberty to say hi!
