Summer reading club slated at Derby Public Library

DERBY - The Derby Public Library will once again run a Summer Reading Club for adults ages 18 and over. 

Participants will be invited to Exercise Your Mind – Read!  

The club will begin June 20 and run through Aug. 12.  

As participants read books of their choice, they will be asked to anonymously complete a very brief review form to share with fellow readers.

Readers will have the option of doing this either online by 

using LitKeeper, or the more traditional hand written way. 

These reviews will be posted and shared. Readers will receive a participation prize after they submit their first review.  

Weekly raffles will be held for all readers sharing for each particular week.  

All participants will be invited to a final summer celebration at 6:30 p.m. Aug.15.

Ongoing programs such as Tuesday Morning Movie Classics,

Color Club, Wednesday Movie Matinees, Tech Times, Local History Sessions, Resume “Right”-ing, and Sports Talks will

continue throughout the summer, along with many special programs. 

For more information or to register, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482, or visit www.derbypublic.library.org.
