DERBY - In recognition of the fifth annual Take Your Child to the Library Day, Derby Public Library has scheduled a variety of activities Feb. 6.
For anyone who is unfamiliar with this now nationwide day of recognizing libraries, it began as a collaborative effort by Children’s Librarians in Connecticut to encourage families to stop by and discover all the resources and opportunities their local library offers.
Think of it as a sampling of what today’s libraries are all about.

What a perfect idea for Valentine’s Day giving!
Lego Time is slated for 12:30 p.m. for children ages 4-11.
