Percy's Uni-CORNER
More of the Library to Love!

Hi, friends, it's Percy Unicorn! Did you hear the exciting news? Your favorite libraries are going to be open earlier, later, and on Sundays! Join us on Monday, September 15 for Grand Re-Opening Celebrations at all DCDL locations. Our Friends of the Delaware County District Library will have fun giveaways and treats (while supplies last). If you come to Delaware Branch Library between 9 and 9:30 am, you can meet me, Percy, and even get a special photo with me! I'll look forward to seeing you at DCDL!

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: With our new extended hours, Family Storytimes at the Delaware Branch on Thursday and Orange Branch on Wednesday will be pushed back thirty minutes to begin at 6:30 pm, making it easier for families with busy schedules. Learn more!
