Delaney Dretzka in magazine Delafield Girl Featured In Discovery Girls Magazine 
Delafield's own Delaney Dretzka is featured in Discovery Girls June/July issue in our children's magazine area.  Delaney, a sixth grader at Kettle Moraine Middle School who hopes to become a marine biologist, said it was exciting to represent Wisconsin and made a lot of new friends.  "One of the best parts was experiencing a real magazine model shoot with wardrobe changes, stylists, make up, lights, green screens and photographers," she explained.  Read more about Delaney and the ten other Discovery Girls of Wisconsin in Discovery Girls magazine.

Jennifer's Staff Pick:  
 In Defense Of Food  
In Defense of Food Jennifer Klett with apple
 With 60 to 80% of health insurance claims deemed "lifestyle related", let's face it:  the typical American diet is dysfunctional.  In Defense of Food:  An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan will sincerely change both your thinking and behavior concerning food.  Throw out all those fad diet books; this book will help you nourish and enrich your being . . . and bring pleasure back to eating.  To quote the book, "Eat food.  Not too much.  Mostly plants."  Yeah, it really is that simple!
 
Jennifer's staff pick is located in
