Adult Learners Week

Adult Learners Week is a celebration of the energy and inspiration that adults bring to their learning. It seeks to use the achievements of learners to inspire others to have a go - whether it be learning a new skill or just learning for fun. Derby City Libraries have organised a series of events to celebrate Adult Learners Week.
