No registration is necessary and members may drop in on whichever days they are available.
First and Third Mondays of the month: Monday Melodies, a club for aspiring musicians. You are welcome to bring your own instrument or use the guitars, ukuleles, and percussion instruments provided by the library.
Beginners are welcome as well as experienced players, or just come to sing, shake a maraca, or enjoy the general vibe. Each week, we'll review a few basic chords and then jam out on songs that use those chords.
Second and Fourth Mondays of the month: Monday Masterpieces, a club for aspiring creators. This club is for kids with a passion for drawing, writing, film, acting, building, or any other creative endeavor to meet with other like-minded individuals in a collaborative space.
We'll have creative prompts and activities to help inspire and practice, but the long-term goal is to have regular attendees who dream up long-term project ideas and then bring them to life.
We hope to see you there!
The Library is at 307 Hawthorne Ave.

DERBY - The Kellogg Environmental Center staff will help science and art come together from 1-2:30 p.m. Oct. 9 in this outdoor, creative education program about birds.
As participants explore the relationship between form and function, they’ll learn about the adaptations that make birds so successful in survival.
After a staff-led presentation including a drawing tutorial, participants will be able to use birds from the Center’s taxidermy collection as models to create their own drawings.
All abilities and skill levels are welcome. Drawing materials will be provided.
Participants may stay longer if they wish to continue working on their drawings.
Admission is free and registration is required.
For more information and to register, please call (203) 734-2513.

The Kellogg Environmental Center, a facility of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s State Parks & Public Outreach Division, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. The Center is located at 500 Hawthorne Ave.
This is a press release from the Kellogg Environmental Center.
Turnback Tuesday looks back at a drawing by Hartley Dennett, the architect who worked on the Derby Public Library building.
This drawing was sent to Miss Grace A. Child, the first librarian for the Derby Public Library, on Nov. 15, 1902. Dennett is asking Miss Child which way the door to the Children's Room should swing in, to the left or right.
In the end, Miss Child agreed to have the door swing towards the Circulation Desk, Option A.
The Children’s Room is now the Local History Room.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
