Deerfield Reads! Registration and Books Available February 1
What if everyone in Deerfield read the same book? Reading great books prompts us to think about ourselves, our environment and our relationships. Talking about books with friends, family and neighbors often adds a richness and depth to the reading experience. We hope you will read and enjoy "Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash" by former western Mass. resident Edward Humes and - talk about it with your friends and neighbors - attend the book discussion and related programs listed on this calendar and at Tilton Library - meet new people and share ideas - read more for pleasure and encourage your children to do so "The real secret at the heart of Garbology may well be the potential for a happy ending buried in our landfill. Waste, Humes writes, is the one environmental and economic harm that ordinary working Americans have the power to change - and prosper in the process." All programs are free and open to the public. Events include: STEM workshops for kids; Worm Bin Workshop; Lou's Upcycling Workshop; Mobile Art; Book Art Workshop; Book Discussion, Eat It Up Food Challenge; Highway 91 Talk. Watch this calendar for a complete listing of dates and times. Program length: February 16-March 28, 2016. This project made possible with funds provided by: a grant from the Deerfield Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; Friends of Tilton Library; Greenfield Cooperative Bank; Greenfield Savings Bank and private donations from library users.

Book Discussion – Garbology by Edward Humes
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.
