County Libraries Offering WiFi Hot Spots at Member Libraries

The Delaware County Library System reminds residents that they can use a hot spot at one of the member libraries to gain access to the internet to search for available vaccine or testing appointments or research information relating to COVID-19.

Hotspots are available for residents with a library card at no charge from any of the Delaware County libraries. They may be borrowed for three weeks and can be used to connect a computer, phone, or other mobile devices to the internet. A hold can be placed by calling Delaware County Libraries at 610-891-8622 or by clicking “Request It” from the catalog.

Residents who need a library card may apply online or visit their local library. The hotspots were purchased with CARES funding allocated by Delaware County Council.

Learn more about Delaware County Libraries at delcolibraries.org

Know the Dangers of Lead-Based Paint

Nearly 80% of all homes and apartments in Delaware County have lead-based paint in them because they were built before 1980, the time when toxic lead paint was finally banned for use in homes. Lead poisoning can cause lifelong learning and behavior problems. Stop this tragedy from happening by making sure your house or apartment is lead safe! Families with children under the age of six or pregnant women can get the lead out of their homes now by contacting one of two free programs available in Delaware County that test homes for lead and get the lead out if found. Grandparents and other family members who have children under six who spend at least 60 hours a year in their home can also qualify. Both homeowners and landlords who rent to qualifying tenants are eligible.

Contact one of the agencies below to start an application:

Community Action Agency – John Forte
610-833-4453 or jforte@caadc.org

Office of Housing and Community Development – Nasia Hill
610-891-5427 or ohcd@co.delaware.pa.us
