Delano PUBLIC LIBRARY
Submitted by Delano Public Library
The Delano Public Library has something for every age,
from babies to adults, and for a wide array of interests – art
workshops and exhibits, storytimes, concerts, technology help,
book groups, and local historical information. We want your
local library to function as a neighborhood gateway, inspiring
you to shape the future through exploration, knowledge and
connection.
The Delano Public Library is part of the Great River Regional
Library system. GRRL spans six counties with thirty-two branch
libraries, nearly one million books, CDs and DVDs, and regionally
and locally-supported programming. The size and scope of
GRRL allows us to provide high-quality materials, programming
and information services to our patrons.
Our Delano branch service to you starts with our great staff,
expansive collection and weekly programming. Our staff is
here to assist you, from advising you on what to read next to
searching online databases. We care about you and your need
for access to community resources, and we invite you to get to
know your library staff and apply for a free library card. If you
are 17 or older, you need to bring picture proof of identification
and address to open the most important card you will ever get
for free!
Books are just one part of what you can find at the Delano
Public Library. With your library card, you have access to a long
list of helpful services:
Axis 360: an easy-to-navigate ebook and eaudiobook
service.
Genealogy research tools: explore your heritage using
