Stop in our Children’s Room after April 24th to check on our incubating chicken eggs! We’ll also have books and all sorts of information about chickens and how to raise them. The eggs should hatch around May 15th, so make sure you stop in to meet our new friends before they return to the farm on May 30th!
Between May 11th and 16th, stop in and take advantage of our first ever Bag of Books sale! All you have to do is visit on one of those days and donate $15 to the library. A staff member or Friend will then give you a bag to fill with as many Browse & Buy books as you can. Our Derby Neck Library branded bags can be reused for groceries, travel, and more.
Help our Friends continue our mission–mark your calendar now so you don’t forget!
WOW! What a cool bag!
Every Wednesday, caregivers with children ages birth to three are invited to the Derby Neck Library for a play group in collaboration with Connecticut Birth to Three! Come try all the library’s resources alongside Early Interventionists who will work with you and your child to build confidence and competence and enhance child learning and development, all within the typical activities of the family.
No registration is required for this free program, just drop in!
ALSO: We collect diapers! Any size diapers that your child has outgrown can be donated to families in need. Just bring them to the program and we’ll distribute to local food banks!
Come check out our brand new Makerspace in the Children’s Room! Every Wednesday between 3:00pm and 6:00pm, Miss Sarah will be on hand to assist you with any project you’d like to complete. We have a LEGO wall, a programmable robot, snap circuits, origami, pixel art, ingredients for slime–you name it, we can make it happen!
Please note that the Makerspace is flooded with small parts, so we do not recommend it for very young children. No registration required, but sign up for our Youth Services mailing list to stay in the loop on cancellations by clicking here.
The Reading Room is reserved for use by the Friends of the Derby Neck Library for their monthly meeting, weather-permitting. Anyone interested in joining is also welcome to drop in and see what it’s all about–visit the Friends’ website for more info.
