Derby Library plans fun programs for young set

Spa Day Fun
    DERBY - The Derby Public Library invites 9-14 year olds to Spa Day Fun at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 14.  

    This “spa-tacular” program is the first in a two-part series devoted to making beauty products often found at the spa.  

    With the focus on bath and body for the first workshop, participants will make lip gloss, a chocolate bubble bath, facial scrub, body lotion, and more using familiar household ingredients.   

    Anyone who is interested will have an opportunity to decorate containers and bags since these items would make a great idea for gift giving. 
    There is no fee to attend; all materials will be supplied.  

    Refreshments will be served.

    Registration is requested. 

Lego Time

     The Library invites children ages 4-11 to use their creative talents and stir their imaginations during Lego Time at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 14. 
     All levels of building skills are welcome to come by for this drop-in program. 
     There is no fee to attend and all building materials will be provided.  

     Participants may place their building masterpieces on display in the Children’s Room for everyone to admire.

Science program

    The Library continues to offer an after-school STEAM program taking place on the third Tuesday of every month during the school year. 
     Children in Grades 2-5 are invited to stop by The Science Lab at 4 p.m. Nov. 17 for Kitchen Science.   

     Each month a new theme will be the focus covering topics such as simple machines, weather and more with hands-on activities and experiments.  
     There is no fee to attend and all materials will be provided for this interactive, hour long program.

    Registration is requested.
