Here's your chance to participate with a free garden fairy to paint and decorate on Saturday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Spring Art Walk in front of the Delafield Arts Center, 803 Genesee Street.  A joint effort hosted by the DPL and the Delafield Arts Center.  
Nan's Staff Pick:  
The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks
Nan Wessling immortal life Henrietta
 This book is a sobering true look at progress and the clash of the individual with the group.  It's the story of Henrietta's immortal cells . . . removed from her body not long before she died in 1951.  It's both enlightening and fascinating, a tale of medical miracles and moral dilemmas.  A unique story by Rebecca Skloot of modern science and the people who live it.  
 
Nan's staff pick is located in adult nonfiction (616.02774 SKL);
also available in large print book, book on CD, browsing book and downloadable book from Overdrive.
 
Congratulations, Nan, on your retirement in May.
Thank you for 12 years of service at the DPL!
