“In addition to providing quality programing and resources that foster growth through literacy, the Derby Public Library is committed to facilitate the means for our youth and community to pursue higher education,” said Cathy Williams, Library Director. “We will bring under one roof local college and university representatives that will help address questions and concerns about our regional higher academic institutions and will have information about the application process.”

Participating patrons will have the opportunity to talk individually with each of the college representatives.
