2022 Community Index

The Valley Community Foundation has released the 2022 Valley Community Index.

Created in partnership with DataHaven, this report reflects the most recent data collection efforts to examine the social, economic, and physical health of the Valley and continues where the 2019 Community Index report left off.

Hoopla

The Derby Neck Library is partnering with Derby Public Library to offer Hoopla to all Derby residents! Simply sign up for an account using your Derby Neck Library card number on the back (starts with 24046…) and select Derby Public Library when prompted. Then when you find an ebook, audiobook, or film you want, you can download it. That’s it! Unlike Overdrive/Libby, there are no holds, no wait times. If you see it, it’s available to check out right then and there. **Please note that you will be limited to 10 checkouts per month.**

Mask Policy Update

UPDATE March 1, 2022: In line with CDC and CT DPH guidance, masks will now be optional for fully-vaccinated individuals in all areas of the library, including the Community Room and Children’s Room. We will amend this policy, if necessary, as guidance changes.

Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, visit our Website, or call us periodically to stay up to date on all changes moving forward. We thank you for your understanding. Be safe, and be well!
