This winter, Delaware County libraries have many great programs going on, including some that are offered countywide!

Teens are invited to participate in the 4th Annual Teen Art Contest. Create an original piece of art based on the Longwood Gardens Community Read theme of how food is a connector of people and submit it for judging! Both local library and countywide winners will be awarded prizes! More information can be found at https://www.delcolibraries.org/teen-art-contest.

Kids can help choose the 2023 Mock Ezra Jack Keats Award winner by reading the nominated titles and voting for their favorite. The Ezra Jack Keats Award was created to nurture illustrators and writers, early in their careers, who create extraordinary books that reflect our diverse population, the universal experience of childhood, and the strength of family. Find all the details at your local library or at https://www.delcolibraries.org/Ezra-Jack-Keats-Award.

Experience all the feels this winter with the current reading challenge! Readers ages 6 through adult will learn about the history of emojis, explore the importance of emotions, and discover fun activities to express yourself fully—all while earning badges on a virtual bingo card and entering to win prizes. More information about the All The Feels reading challenge can be found at https://www.delcolibraries.org/Reading-Challenge.
