At the Derby Public Library, we recognize how important literacy is to children's development. Our Youth Services staff is dedicated to providing programming and other opportunities to help children improve their literacy. We also offer programs that can assist parents as they seek to help their children develop literacy skills and learn to love reading.

The programs below are available at the times listed during fall and spring sessions. In the summer, we offer many other special programs as part of our summer reading program.

For Adventures @ the Library and Tween Zone:

• Children meet in front of the Frank Fanning Conference Room five minutes before the program
• Bring your friends — advance registration is not required
• Snacks will be served, so please notify us in advance of any allergies
• A parent or responsible adult must remain on library premises with children under the age of 7
