New Library Cards for Kids


Goal: Half of Delawareans have a library card… help us reach 100% to achieve a Stronger Delaware!

New library cards are here for kids! In Delaware, only 52% of children read at grade level by third grade; that number drops to 37% in 17 low income zip codes. Children who are competent and passionate readers by 3rd grade have a strong foundation for success in school and in life! First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney is the Honorary Chair of this library card campaign.
 
The My First Delaware Library Card, featuring Baby Blue Hen, is available to kids ages 0-5 and the Super Library Card is available to kids ages 6-12. Parents, come by the library with your child and a valid photo I.D. to register!
