Dear Library User,
North Reading Reads 2012: We hope you'll join us in celebrating local food and community. This year's town-wide reading selection is The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love by Kristin Kimball, a spare, honest, and insightful look at the world of organic farming. Copies of the book are available at the library. And, on Thursday, February 23 at 7PM, we invite you to "A Taste of Home:Connecting with Music, Food, and Friends." Please visit here to find out more about the town-wide reading program.
