"In addition to the Derby Historical Society and its Humphreys House teaching museum, another local venerable institution takes great pride in preserving and presenting local history. That institution is the Harcourt Wood Memorial Library, better known as the Derby Public Library.
"The origin of the library was due to the generosity of the Wood family who pledged funds for the building and books."
(Dr. Joe DiRienzo)
