AARP Driver Safety Class 

The Library has scheduled an AARP Driver Safety Class for Sept. 20 from 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.  

The cost is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members. Cars have changed and so have traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel. 
This refresher course is designed for drivers 50 and over to brush up on their driving skills.  
No written tests, no road tests, and no information will be given to the Department of Motor Vehicles.  
Participants will learn how to drive more defensively and may save up to 10 percent on their present auto liability insurance.  
Space is limited and registration is required.  
Participants may bring a bag lunch.

Coffee and dessert will be provided.  

For more information, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth

St., call 203-736-1482 or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
