Derby Public Library to host 'The Palace of Sweets' author

DERBY - The Derby Public Library welcomes back local author Salvatore Coppola at 6:30 p.m. March 28.
Since Coppola's first visit in September when he discussed 
his writing process and gave a brief outline of the book, many readers have had the opportunity to read The Palace of Sweets themselves.

So this time Coppola will delve deeper into the story and discuss the entire book.  

Quickly becoming a local favorite, at the center of this
historical fiction love story is the downtown Derby iconic ice cream shop, Vonetes Palace of Sweets.  

Three major Valley events are included, the BF Goodrich arson, the River Restaurant explosion, and attempted take-
over of Derby Savings Bank, along with the Vietnam War.  

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Registration is requested.  
For more information, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482, or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.


This is a press release from Cathy Williams, Director, Derby Public Library.
