Littles' Art Studio fun slated tomorrow at Derby Neck Library


DERBY - Every other Tuesday, bring your little one in-person to Derby Neck Library for some artistic exploration of various art mediums! 
Tomorrow, Sept. 5, is the next session. 

One session will feature finger painting, while another will have stamps, and then another will have chalk. 

Your child will get to experiment with all sorts of artwork, bringing out their little Picasso (and maybe a bit of yours, too)! And the best part is, we clean up the mess. Join us!

This program is targeted to ages 3-5, but everyone is welcome!

The Library is at 307 Hawthorne Ave.

Derby Neck Library to host presentation on 19th century murders


DERBY - Join us at Derby Neck Library for a presentation on Derby’s own “black widow” serial killer. 

Lydia Sherman was arrested, tried, and convicted for the murder of her third husband, Horatio Sherman, in 1872 - but the complete story is much more disturbing than you might expect, and her list of victims much longer. 

This somewhat macabre program is an ideal way to kick off the Halloween season!

We will be meeting in the Community Room at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 21. The Library is at 307 Hawthorne Ave.

The presentation is expected to last approximately one hour, and light refreshments will be offered afterward.
