Welcome to Summer Reading Club!

Summer Reading Club 2025: Libraries Color Our World

Sunday, June 1 – Thursday, July 31

It’s going to be a creative summer at your Library!

Hello there, readers, and welcome to the Summer Reading Club! At the Delaware County District Library, readers of all ages are invited to explore the fun of Summer Reading Club. This year, kids ages 0-12 are welcome to join our Kids Club, teens have their own Teen Club, and readers ages 18 and older can join the Adult Summer Reading Club.

This year’s theme is Libraries Color Our World! This summer you’ll find a focus on programming for all ages that sparks the imaginative parts of our brains. Try something new or learn more about an old favorite!

Help us kick off Summer Reading by participating in our Collaborative Art Mural. From Monday, June 2 through Thursday, July 31, we’re bringing people together through mural-making. You’re invited to join us at Orange Library to decorate a wooden square and add it to our collaborative art mural, which will gradually come together over the course of the summer as patrons add their own unique pieces to create an artistic masterpiece.

Partners

We’d like to express our profound gratitude to the Friends of the Delaware County District Library, and the Polaris Community Fund and the Robert Weiler Family Fun via the Delaware County Foundation, for their gift of $51,000 to make Summer Reading Club possible.
