DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Calling all Delco bookworms: the county's libraries are now offering contactless pickup for library materials.

Many county libraries are making books and other materials available via contactless pickup after being closed for weeks due to the coronavirus.

Patrons can call or email a library that owns the items that they would like to request. Staff will then pull the items, check them out, and make them available for pickup in a contactless manner.
