Derby Public Library to host holiday lunchtime book discussion

DERBY - The Derby Public Library, 313 Elizabeth St., has scheduled a Special Holiday Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. Dec. 7.

The selected title is Christmas Jars by Jason Wright. 

On Christmas Eve, 20-something Hope Jensen is 

quietly grieving the recent loss of her adoptive mother when her apartment is robbed.

The one bright spot in the midst of Hope's despair is a small jar full of money someone has anonymously left on her doorstep.

Eager to learn the source of this unexpected generosity,

Hope uses her newswoman instincts to find other recipients of "Christmas jars," digging until her search leads her to the

family who first began the tradition of saving a year's worth of spare change to give to someone in need at the holiday.

Multiple copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.  
Dessert and beverages will be provided.  
Registration is requested. 

To register call 203-736-1482.
