Readers can practice with a trained therapy dog while earning minutes for their Summer Reading goals!

Therapy dogs (and their handlers) are non-judgmental reading partners and they love hearing stories from readers of all abilities and levels! Readers may have to wait, but no worries we have plenty of books to browse while they wait!

About the branch

The 35,000 square foot Delaware Main Library is the oldest branch of our library system, which serves the public as well as houses a majority of our administrative offices. Located around the corner from downtown Delaware, it serves as our central branch for those on foot as well as those in a rush. 


The Main Library also hosts the Delaware County Genealogical Society. Genealogical Society volunteers are in the Library to assist researchers on limited dates and by appointment. 

 

DCDL welcomes all people to our programs and events. If you require ASL interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, please contact us at pr@delawarelibrary.org.
