Director's Message
storytime at home easy and fun. The packs, which contain books, craft supplies, and an activity sheet, are designed for a wide range of ages.
School Partnerships: We are partnering with local schools to help students and teachers access the educational resources they need for lessons and assignments. Virtual library cards have been created for all DPS students so they can access our digital collections from home.
Virtual Services: On weekday mornings, we are ready to assist you online through our chat service. We also know you miss browsing our shelves, so we've added a virtual browsing feature to our website so you can still peruse the new shelves. Anyone looking for a new read can complete our online request form to receive a personalized recommendation list from staff.
Thank you for supporting the Library and allowing us to serve you. As always, I would love the opportunity to hear your thoughts on how we can best meet your needs.
We look forward to seeing you again,
Jennifer Balcom,
Library Director
Dear Friends,
The DeWitt
District Library
is gradually
moving through
the phases of
our Re-opening
Plan. We started with contactless curbside service in June and hope to move to Phase 3 soon, which would allow us to welcome the general public back into the building with limited hours and services.
In August, we surveyed the community to learn how we can best serve you while we work to re-open. Your responses provided us with great insight on how we can continue to provide value to the community, even in the most challenging times. I am excited to tell you about some of the new services and tools we have put into place based on your feedback:
New Library Mobile App: The library has its own app! You can scan your library card to set up your account, browse our collections, place holds, and even download digital materials all from your mobile device.
Read and Make Packs: We have created
several themed packs to make
