Derby libraries join for livestream conversation with bestselling author
DERBY - Join us in conversation with bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry @sneezingcow, whose collection of genre-spanning works encapsulates the experiences–and the magic–of rural town communities and the everyday people who reside in them.
In his memoir, Population: 485, Perry tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy.
Jesus Cow, Perry’s fiction debut, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of faith and the foibles of modern life.
Livestream will be Wednesday, March 4 at 2 p.m. in partnership with Derby Neck and Derby Public Libraries.

'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Academy, Sentinel Hills in East Derby
Turnback Tuesday visits this old postcard of where Academy Hill and Sentinel Hill Roads as we know them today meet. The photographer is standing on Sentinel Hill while Academy Hill goes to the right.
To the extreme right of the image is where the Derby Birmingham Reservoir was located, called the Ansonia Lower Reservoir today.
The black arrow in the back shows Chamberlain Hill highlighted (Image 2) and the blue arrow is Swift Corner also highlighted (Image 2).
The road that goes off to the left is now called High Street.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
