About Upper Chichester Library

Dawn Daniels

Board President, The Upper Chichester Library

Dawn has been the President of the Upper Chichester library since its inception 21 years ago.  Her sons, George and Greg Daniels, instituted this very first library in Upper Chichester as their Eagle Scout project when they were 14 and 16 years old. They remembered going to the Marcus Hook library at a young age and wanted their township to have their very own library too. Dawn has watched the library grow and bloom into something very special and is gratified that it can now compete with most of the other libraries in Delaware County.

Dawn is also a licensed Realtor in both Pennsylvania and Delaware for the past 15 years where she has sold residential and commercial properties during this time.
