Derby Library discussion to feature Christmas-themed novel

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. Dec. 10.

  

The selected holiday title is An Irish Country Christmas by Patrick Taylor.

As Christmas draws near in the village of Ballybucklebo, Dr. Fingal O'Reilly and his junior partner Barry Laverty contend with

a variety of comical village ailments, as well as romantic troubles.  

Then a new doctor arrives and causes a ruckus by poaching their patients and prescribing ludicrous cures.

This warmhearted novel also features “Ulster Christmas Recipes.”  

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.

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