'Turnback Tuesday' (on Wednesday) features librarian for Women's History Month

DERBY - In honor of Women’s History Month, Turnback Tuesday remembers Helen Ahern, former Head Librarian for the Derby Public Library for 21 years from '61-'82.

She started a Children’s Story Hour in '63, a tradition that continues today.

Helen also had her dream realized in February of 1974, with the opening of the all-new Children’s Room on the Lower Level of the Library. Books were very important to her family, so much so that our current Board President, Dorothy Gleason, is none other than Helen’s daughter.

The Ahern legacy continues as Dorothy brings her granddaughter to the Library on a regular basis. Helen is the third woman from the right in this photo, taken during the Derby Tercentennial in 1975.

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