Delaware Community
   Resource Exchange

The Delaware Division of Libraries(DDL) is making the search for assistance with everything from housing and food to family counseling, adult education, and job placement easier through the Delaware Libraries Community Resources Exchange.  The Exchange brings social service organizations, agencies, and public libraries together as Partners to maximize their resources. Through this combined effort, Delawareans will be able to walk into their public library - physically or virtually - and find the services they need all in one place.
