 Taste the Book Series: Where every story comes to life with a book, a craft, and a delicious tasting experience! 

Join us for an Earth Day story time featuring The Planet in a Pickle Jar by Martin Stanev, and discover how Grandma has been preserving all the important things on our planet. 

Then, create your own "planet in a pickle jar" using recycled water bottles, glitter, and more. Enjoy a tasty pickle sampling while you read, create, and play. It’s the perfect blend of stories, crafts, and pickled treats!

Read it, Make it, Taste it - Taste the Book and experience the story in every way!

Recommended for ages 3-10, but all are welcome!

'Turnback Tuesday' features advertisement for Sterling Piano Co.

Turnback Tuesday remembers the Sterling Piano Co. 

This beautiful card is but a sample of what they used for images in their advertising. This image reminds us of spring, with a beautiful young lady holding flowers.

They used series of images like birds, children holding instruments and Aesop Fables to name a few. 

These cards would then be printed on with the name of the business selling the pianos in their shop.

Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
