Ansonia Library Dungeons & Dragons virtual program for teens has openings

ANSONIA - Calling all young adventurers! 

The Ansonia Library's teen group in the Saturday morning Dungeons & Dragons program has two spots open! 

If you have a child between the ages of 13 and 18 who has played or is interested in trying D&D, please contact John, your friendly neighborhood Dungeon Master, at jkantor14@gmail.com.

Dungeons & Dragons is a fantastic experience for young minds, as it builds critical thinking skills, fosters artistic creativity, and reinforces the importance of teamwork. 

The teen group plays on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Due to state COVID-19 restrictions, we play completely digitally online. All you need to start is your imagination, and a tablet or PC with microphone capability. Everything else is free to use. 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

'Turnback Tuesday' highlights electric trolley car in downtown Derby

Turnback Tuesday reminds us of the first electric trolley. Col. H. Holton Wood (Derby Public Library benefactor) was also involved in bringing the first electric trolley in New England to Derby in 1888. This postcard shows the Shelton, Pine Beach Park, Stratford, and Bridgeport line trolley most likely coming from Transfer Point heading towards Shelton. 

If you look closely in the back of the photo on the right, you can see the ever-famous, green Howard & Barber sign. The trolley is about to head over Bridge Street into Shelton.

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