A Little Corner of Care Located at 29 Young Street in Delaware, Ontario, the Delaware Library sits on a quiet street amid baseball diamonds and soccer fields. Built by the Delaware Lions in 1993, the library is a little corner of care and an integral part of the Delaware community, where staff creates a welcoming space for everyone. Among the programs offered at the Delaware Library, there is new one that is particularly close to the hearts of staff. Starting this past September, they offer monthly letter writing sessions where patrons and community members can come and write a letter to a patient facing a cancer journey. They also have supplies available for picking up to write the letter at home. Letters are collected the week following the writing session and staff take them to the Cancer Centre at London Health Science Centre (LHSC). Anyone writing their letters at home can drop them back at the library. “We see everything from short, succinct letters, to long illustrated letters with crosswords, puzzles, or poems included,” Jess Kovac, Branch Assistant. “Whatever letter you write, your impact is huge. Every letter received is so appreciated.” The program’s goal is to remind the letter recipients that they are not alone in their cancer journey, and that there is a community who cares about them, which can be a lifeline for some people. Remaining fall sessions take place on October 15 and November 19, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. No registration is required.
