Derby Public Library

Today was my first time in the Derby Public Library’s ‘new’ facility, which was built in 2009, I’m a fan! My family utilized the old facility a lot when my children were younger, but in recent years I’ve been getting my reading materials from Barnes & Noble. The building is beautiful and accommodating with many private rooms of all sizes available for meetings large and small. The staff is friendly and quite knowledgeable, with many of them having been with the library for years. The many terrific services available are too numerous to name. Just a few though: print a document from home to pick up at the library (as well as many other business functions), adult self-​checkout (bypass the line!), scan a book while you’re at Barnes & Noble using the library app to see if the library has it, AND reserve it!, ‘library to go’ (delivery service for patrons unable to visit the library), and on and on! If you haven’t been to the facility, go! I got my new library card! :)
