Amy Donovan from Franklin County Solid Waste District will join us to discuss Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash by Edward Humes. "Zestful in his curiosity and irrepressible in his vivid chronicling...Humes finds hope in the innovative work of dedicated garbologists, trash trackers, and activists who are intent on exposing the hazards and travesties of excessive trash and pointing the way to the 'low-waste path.'" - Booklist (starred review) "An eye-opening account reminding us of something we try to forget: We are a wasteful society with a trash problem that is polluting our oceans and packing our landfills." - The Boston Globe Books are available at the library. This free Deerfield Reads event is sponsored in part by Deerfield Cultural Council, Friends of Tilton Library and Greenfield Cooperative Bank.

Can you cook a dish from food that is minimally or not packaged? What can you make out of food already in your cupboard or freezer? Give it a try and bring it (and your appetite) to the library on the first day of spring. If you've read "Garbology" by Edward Humes you might feel inspired to try to waste less food.

Fall Out, Fall In Artist's Statement: I use acrylic paints to reproduce what I imagine. There is a line of thought which has been central to the recent art you see here. In philosophical traditions, from Buddhism to Psychiatry, the mind is conceptualized as a fragmented entity. Unity and cohesion characterize the bookends of our lives - the innocence of birth and the wisdom of enlightenment / actualization.
