“Derby Public Library is dedicated to providing quality service to patrons and to contribute to the knowledge, culture, understanding and enjoyment of the community. We can only provide our best service when the Library is in tip-top shape and the HVAC system is in dire need of an upgrade/replacement.
The cost of repairs is included in the 5 year Capital Plan for the City of Derby.
