    DERBY - The Derby Public Library recently received a grant from the Selma L. and Harold B.
Yudkin Fund with the Valley Community Foundation for the purchase of a light-filtering system.

The system will protect both local history materials and computers from the harsh effects of direct sunlight. 

The Yudkins have been long-time supporters of the Library. Yudkin’s portrait hangs prominently in the Local History Room.  

The Derby Public Library thanks Selma Yudkin for her generosity and the Valley Community Foundation for their support, said Director Cathy Williams.  

The library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
