Author to discuss hiking memoir at Derby Public Library



DERBY - The Derby Public Library welcomes author, speaker, photographer, avid hiker, and former L.L. Bean catalog writer Jeffrey H. Ryan at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 6 to discuss his book, Appalachian Odyssey. 

This memoir highlights a 28-year trip, hiked one section at a time. 
Born and raised in Maine, Ryan encourages readers to set goals, chase dreams, and achieve them, one step at a time.

Modeled loosely on Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, each section of the book is a self-contained story, touching on the trail's history and the mental aspects of doing the trail. 

More than 75 photos are included.  
Copies of the book will be available for purchase.  

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

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