Talkin' sports

The Library is in its ninth season of hosting the very popular Sports Talk series at 10 a.m. every Thursday.

These informal sessions meet throughout the baseball season. Rich Marazzi, author and
Major League Baseball Rules consultant, facilitates.

Each session includes trivia contests, videos, lively conversation and more.
All ages, rookies through veterans, are invited to join Rich and his group of Silver Sluggers.

No registration is necessary.


Just for Women


The Library continues its program series, Just for Women, at 6:30 p.m. on the first Monday of each month.

The next session will be held Oct. 6.

These sessions offer women an informal opportunity to come together to learn how to
enhance the quality of their lifestyle, share challenges and joys with other women,
provide support to one another, spend time with old friends, and make new ones.

The series is facilitated by Valley resident Joan Joyce. She is a licensed professional
counselor in the State of Connecticut, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a
Certified Senior Advisor.

Scientific studies show that an integral component of achieving and maintaining optimal
health and well being includes having a strong social support network.

All women, ages 18 and over, are invited to join this new and vital group.
Registration is requested; walk-ins are also welcome.

For information on any programs stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482, or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
