Go Green @ your library

Harkamal and the Giant SquashAt Northwest, we are going green. Our new staff member John, our Circulation Assistant, has raised all of our consciousness and implemented a recycling program for the staff. He has taught us the importance of small steps towards a greener library. Harkamal, our Shelving Assistant, is a master gardener and a great chef. She and her family grow vegetables in thier backyards. She once told me that the squash were big and getting ready, but I couldn't image this big. So, go green!

Today at the library, we hosted Ms. Bonner Miller Cutting. Ms. Cutting is working to organize the Annual Shakespeare Authorship Conference sponsored by the Shakespeare Fellowship. It is sure to be a treat for those that are interested in the "Authorship Question". Her organization is dedication to the research of who EXACTLY was William Shakespeare. Was he really the guy we all know and love that was said to be from Stratford-upon-Avon? Come to the library and pick up his biography! Make your own conclusion!
