'Turnback Tuesday' features teens' dances held at Derby Public Library

Turnback Tuesday remembers the dances held at Derby Public Library by students of Derby High School. 

The Upper Level Meeting Room of the Library has been used for many events, programs, meetings and yes, dances over the years.

Before the Derby High School had a gymnasium in the mid 1920s, student dances were held here [at Derby Public Library].
The two newspaper articles were from the Evening Sentinel, and the others were from the Derby High School "Lookout" book, published by students about 4x a school year. One was published in the June, 1923 Lookout, the other in March, 1920.
Derby Public Library is looking for anyone who has an image from one of these dances that they would be willing to either archive with us or scan and return.
We would really appreciate being able to add a copy to our collection and further add to the history of the Library.

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