Derby library to host book talk for teens

DERBY - The Derby Public Library hosts a book discussion series for patrons ages 11 to 17.

The next session will be held at 3:30 p.m. April 30. Participants will review the story of 16-year old Hazel, a thyroid cancer patient and clinically depressed.

To help her deal with this, her doctors send her to a kid’s cancer support group where she meets Augustus Waters who has lost his leg to cancer.
The two become kindred spirits and fall in love. A trip to Amsterdam, filled with both humor and tragedy, plays a significant role in their relationship and their lives.

The Fault in Our Stars, award-winning author John Green’s most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, explores the questions - How will I be remembered?  Does my life, and will my death have meaning? - with raw honesty and emotion.

Multiple copies are available at the circulation desk. Light refreshments will be provided.

Copies will be available at the circulation desk while they last and reservations may be made by phone or on-line.
For information, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482 or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
