Little Free Libraries
The Delaware County District Library is a Steward for five Little Free Libraries™ within the county. In Alum Creek and Delaware state parks, campers and visitors have the opportunity to pick up a book at the nature center, camp store or marina. Visitors can also find books at Hyatts Road Park and in Radnor.
The boxes, which look like a cross between decorative mailboxes and birdhouses built to hold books, are part of a national campaign to promote a sense of community, reading for children, literacy for adults and libraries around the world. The hand-crafted structures built by the Delaware Area Career Center (DACC) and populated by DCDL contain constantly changing collections of books donated and shared by people of all ages and backgrounds. Browse the book selections available, take one for any duration of time, share it with friends, write a note in it for others to enjoy, and then pay it forward by bringing the book back or another book to share with others.
