Derby library slates book discussion

DERBY - The Derby Public Library will hold its next Lunchtime Book Discussion at

 12:30 p.m. Oct. 24.  

            The selected title is the spellbinding tale of Savannah’s eccentricities, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: a Savannah Story by John Berendt.

            The nonfiction book includes the murder and subsequent trial of Jim Williams, self made man and art collector, magazine reporter John Kelso, and a variety of other remarkable characters. 

          Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.        

          Multiple copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.

          Participants are asked to bring a sandwich and a friend as they “chat and chew.” Dessert

and beverages will be provided. Registration is requested. 

         For information, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St., call 203- 736-1482 or visit
