The outdoor sign at the Rachel Kohl Community Library. Text on the sign reads "Books: Helping introverts avoid conversation since 1454."

There are many reasons why we love books, but this one is near the top of the list!

If we're turning this into an oldness competition we should tell you, one of the libraries in our system, the Darby Free Library, has been around since 1743. We've all aged well though, don't you think?

😂😂😂

We know all of our library friends will get it! 😂

An audiotape lying on a gurney with it's tape unraveled. A doctor and two nurses, also audiotapes, stand around the patient. The doctor is asking one of the nurses for a pencil.

Audiobooks have a come a long way... check out one today in the Libby app or at libbyapp.com/library/delco and listen on your favorite device.

We hate to see you disappointed!

A light blue background. An open book with plants coming out of the center. Text reads "You can tell when someone grew up reading, because they know so many words and they pronounce them all wrong." Credit at the bottom says "ShutUpImTalking."

We do know how to use them in a sentence though!

@decitylibrary.bsky.social Want to join the fun?

You're definitely speaking our language with the Wawa welcome! But we hate to break it to you, we're actually in PA 🤪

What a welcome! We thought we'd put down our book for a minute and join the fun!

A teal background with a white circle in the center and yellow quote marks. Text in the circle reads "'When I was a child I always participated in the Summer Reading program and when I became a mother my children were able to have that same experience at the same library I went to as a child. I love that I was able to share my love of reading with my children at the same place where I found mine.' -Anonymous"
