Events planned in library children's room

    DERBY - Margie Miles and Sandy her therapy dog will visit Derby Public Library for the popular Read to Sandy program at 11 a.m. Feb. 4.  Children ages 5-11 are invited to share a book with Sandy during this interactive reading program.
      Each child will be given a 10-15 minute time slot to read to Sandy.  Sandy and Margie are registered with Therapy Dogs, Inc. and volunteer at local schools, hospitals and nursing homes.  This is a great opportunity for beginner or reluctant readers, as well as experienced readers, to build confidence, enhance their reading skills and encourage a love of reading.  Come select a book from “Sandy’s Favorites” on display each month in the Children’s Room.
    And at 6:30 p.m.  Feb. 7 it will be Pajama Story Time at the library. Children ages 3-7 may wear their pajamas and bring a favorite bedtime buddy or blanket to listen to stories, sing songs and enjoy a bedtime snack.
     Registration is requested for both programs.  For information or to register for either program, call the Children’s Room at 203-736-1482, stop by the library at 313 Elizabeth Street or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
