Derby Public Library to host family activities Feb. 4

DERBY - In recognition of the 6th annual Take Your Child to the Library Day, Derby Public Library staff has scheduled a variety of activities for families from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Feb. 4.

For anyone unfamiliar with this now-nationwide day of recognizing libraries, it began as a collaborative effort by Children’s Librarians in Connecticut to encourage families to stop by and discover all the resources and opportunities their local library offers. 

Think of it as a sampling of what today’s libraries are all about.

Families with children ages 4-11 are welcome to register for a painting class presented by the Giggling Pig Art Studio taking place at 10 a.m. 

There will also be a drop-in craft program with several do-it-yourself projects throughout the day. 

Lego Time is slated for 12:30 p.m. and is geared for children ages 4-11. All levels of building skills are welcome to come by for this drop-in program. 

Children ages 5-11 are invited to say hello to therapy dog Payson, who will be available to listen to young readers share a story. 

Payson and her owner Janet Sabovik volunteer at the library as part of the popular, ongoing read to a therapy dog program.

The day also includes a raffle, refreshments, a scavenger hunt, and more! 

The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St. Participants should meet at the children's room.

Registration is required for both the Giggling Pig Art Studio and Payson the therapy dog events.

For questions about the day contact Sue Sherman, children's librarian, 203-736-1482.
