Youth Services at Derby Neck Library
Here at the Derby Neck Library, we want to make sure all our youth are prepared for school and life. We do this through our engaging programming for all ages, our collection of books, graphic novels. movies, magazines, and databases, and our reference services for youth and their parents. The best way to keep up with all we do is signing up for our Youth Services Mailing list here and reading our monthly newsletter and being a regular visitor to our website.
Have a question or request? Ask! You can reach out anytime on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or call the library during our regular hours at 203-734-1492 and press 2 for Youth Services!
