What to Expect
Delmar's library leans toward clubs rather than a heavy story time schedule. Lego Club, Chess Club, and a Magic the Gathering Club all appear on the calendar, with a Story Time and a mix of one-off events — Water Day, an End of Summer Reading Bash, Bingo at the Library, and calligraphy in mid-September.
Teen programming shows up as one-off dates — an end-of-summer party and a "surprise" teen program — plus seasonal events like Trunk or Treat in October.
It's free to walk in, as every Delaware library is. Check the calendar before you go, since most of what's listed runs once rather than weekly, and note the hours: Thursday is the only evening, and Saturday closes at 2pm.
Who It's Best For
The recurring programs skew to kids old enough for a game club — Lego, chess, and Magic the Gathering. There's a Story Time on the calendar for younger kids, plus one-offs like Water Day and the End of Summer Reading Bash. Teens get their own nights.
