COLOR YOUR HEART OUTThanks to a $1,000 donation from the Delaware Arts Festival Association, DCDL now has its very own adult coloring book collection featuring more than 120 books and 70 unique titles. Adult coloring books showcase intricate designs and fine details that are used for therapy, relaxation and to express creativity.

Patrons can check out up to two coloring books at a time, and can keep them for two weeks. Show off what you color and see other creations by tagging #DCDLcolors on your social media posts.

NOTE: Summer storytimes begin May 31. All storytimes will break from July 25 - August 12, and resume August 15.

DRIVE-UP HOURS FOR COMMUTERSThe Orange Branch Library drive-up window is now open for patrons during peak morning commute hours. The window now opens at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, and remains open during regular branch operating hours. The additional two hours of weekday service only applies to patrons utilizing the drive-up window for picking up requests for ma-terials. Call 740-549-2665 with any questions.

COVER MODELRILEY FOOSThis Check It Out’s cover model is Riley Foos, daug-ter of Reference Librarian Wendi Foos. Riley is 7 years old and will be going into second grade next school year. She likes playing outside (especially jump rope and swimming), dolls and Minecraft, all of which she will be filling her summer vacation with. Some of her favorite books include Bad Kitty, A Dark Dark Tale, Frog and Toad and anything by Eric Carle or Bill Martin. In the fall she likes to work on her cheerleading moves and is looking forward to picking up her pom poms again soon!
