Derby Library plans benefits workshop, discussion about Brokaw memoir

DERBY - The Derby Public Library will host the workshop, Maximize Your Social Security 

Benefits, at 6:30 p.m  Sept. 28.  

David Cowan, endorsed AAA retiree advisor, will discuss how to navigate retirement savings challenges, ways to safeguard retirement savings, and how to increase Social Security benefits by as much as $100,000.  

Learn when the right time is to start taking your Social Security, hidden benefits you may have from a former or deceased spouse, and the benefits of "switches."

While the program is targeted for pre-retirees, ages 60-66, the general public is welcome.

Registration is requested.  

Lunchtime Book Discussion 

The Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. Sept. 30.

The selected title is the powerful memoir, A Lucky Life Interrupted: A Memoir of Hope by Tom Brokaw.  

As Brokaw battles multiple myeloma, an incurable but 

treatable blood cancer, he reflects on a long and lucky life, including a great marriage of more than 50 years, a 

brilliant journalism career culminating in his 22 years as anchor of NBC Nightly News, a bestselling author, and his scores of devoted friends.

As he comes to terms with his own mortality Brokaw also looks at the larger picture of aging in America and rising health-care costs.

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.
