Library now accessible on the internet

The Derby Public Library can now be accessed on the internet at www.derbylibrary.com.

“It will be most beneficial to those people new to Derby by giving them an idea of who we are and the services we offer,” said Library Director Judy Bennett.

Bennett also said that it would help those that are already Derby residents by providing Web sites that the library recommends for both children and adults.
The Web site will offer many of the services and information found at the local library, with a bonus of being accessible 24 hours a day.

The library’s mission statement, hours of operation, answers to frequently asked questions, schedule of events, services offered and Library Board information, contact staff members and Interlibrary Loan request forms will all be available on the homepage.

Sometime next year, the library hopes patrons will be able to search the library’s card catalog and place holds on some items.

“It has a wide-appeal and is very user-friendly for those who are familiar with Windows products,” said Bennett. Library now accessible on the internet
