Explore Delaware County libraries this summer and discover the world of dinosaurs along the way! Visit participating libraries throughout the county, complete your game sheet, and collect exclusive dinosaur trading cards.
Each library features a special Journey Across Delco poster. As you visit, use the poster to fill in the missing bone on your game sheet and help complete your dinosaur skeleton.
The more libraries you visit, the more dinosaur trading cards you’ll collect. Challenge yourself to visit as many of Delaware County’s 28 public libraries as possible and see if you can collect all 28 cards before summer ends!
