Derby Public Library slates May cookbook book club meeting

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has started a new book club – The Cookbook Book Club! 

It meets on the first Monday of every month. The May meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. May 1.  

A different theme is picked for each month. Participants select a cookbook from the Library’s large collection to peruse and choose a tantalizing recipe.  
They then select one recipe to make and bring to the meeting for all to share. After eating, the group rates the recipes and reviews the cookbooks.  
The theme for May is Spring Desserts.  

If you love browsing through cookbooks and trying new recipes, then this is the club for you! 

The Library will provide beverages and all paper products and utensils.  
Registration is required.  

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

Derby Public Library to host discussion on mystery novel

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. April 26.

The selected title is the best-selling novel, The Woman in 

Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware.  

Travel journalist Lo Blacklock has been given the assignment of a lifetime when she receives a press pass for a weeklong luxury cruise from London to the Norwegian fjords.  
But on the first evening aboard, she witnesses a woman being thrown overboard.  
Her claims, however, are quickly dismissed by the ship’s crew. 
Lo’s original assignment to chronicle the ship’s maiden voyage is quickly overshadowed by her obsession with solving the mystery, despite any evidence of foul play, entangling her in a web of deception and danger.  

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 more information, stop by the Library, 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482, or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
