Winter Farmer's Market

Did anyone know that there is actually a small Winter Farmer's Market? About 4 or 5 farms set up shop in the old bus depot on S. School. Eggs, squash, winter greens, mmmm...

Some things have to be pre-ordered, but you can sign up for the email list when you go.

This happens every Saturday from 9-12. Get there early for the eggs! I showed up at 9:35 and there was only one dozen left.

Junk Food Confessions of Reference Dept. Staff.

This book has sparked debate among the staff. Here in the Reference Department, we try to make good choices. But, if we were to fall off the wagon, here are some foods we love that aren't so good for us, require a lot of energy to produce and transport, and probably aren't food in the true sense of word: Cheetos, Twix bars, Twizzler nibs, Reese's peanut butter cups, and chips. Do we count chocolate? One of us mounted a strong defense based on chocolate's antioxidant content. You're invited to join the discussion, either here on in person at the Community Read events.
