Derby native to discuss novel at Library

DERBY - What's more interesting than learning some local history?

Derby native Sal Coppola will visit Derby Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 22 to discuss

his recently published book, Palace of Sweets.   

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 B.F. Goodrich arson, the River Restaurant explosion, and an attempted 

takeover of Derby Savings Bank, along with the Vietnam War.

This sounds like a fun read for anyone who lives in or loves the lower Naugatuck Valley!

Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Registration is requested.  

For 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.
