Each February is designated National Library Lover’s Month, and for parents, a library can be so much more than simply a collection of great books! Public libraries are vibrant hubs for family growth, learning and connection.

Today, libraries have a lot to love and offer a wealth of resources designed specifically with families in mind. Here are some of our favorites:

Early Childhood Magic: From puppet shows and music classes to art projects and storytimes, libraries provide a social spark for preschoolers to learn and make their first friends.

A Community “Living Room”: Whether it’s a local club meeting, a family-friendly fundraiser or a weekend workshop, the library is the heart of our community gatherings.

Media for Movie Night: Beyond bookshelves of must-reads, did you know that you can borrow the latest movies and music, making family entertainment nights easy (and free)?

Digital Tools at Your Fingertips: Access high-quality digital resources for the whole family, all in one place.

The “Library of Things”: In Delaware, this is a collection of fun and useful gadgets, tools, games, puzzles and equipment that you can check out with your Delaware Library Card!

Local Art and History: Many libraries also showcase local art and preserve our history, ensuring that the stories and culture we love today are protected for our children’s future.

In Delaware, there are truly amazing libraries throughout the state. Visit The Delaware Division of Libraries to find the location nearest you!
