By assisting patrons in locating information and obtaining material for various projects

 

TIMELINE OF THE DERBY NECK LIBRARY
1897 A $50.00 donation was received from Wilbur F. Osborne. A library was started in the Derby Neck School   (present location of children’s room).
1907 A 1,500 square foot library was completed with a $3400 donation from Andrew Carnegie plus an additional contribution from Wilbur F. Osborne and Frances Osborne Kellogg. The original library was constructed on a site adjacent to the Derby Neck School (later known as Hawthorne School).
1972 Hawthorne School was demolished allowing the library to be enlarged to 6500 square feet.
2002 An expansion project was completed enlarging the building to its present 14,950 square feet.
