March Book of the Month – The Lies They Told

The Lies They Told by Ellen Marie Wiseman is set during the Great Depression era and follows Lena Conti on her journey starting in Germany.  She comes through Ellis Island before coming to her distant relative’s farm in Virginia.  Once there, the law begins to plague her life and she ends up in the Virginia State Colony for the Feebleminded and Epileptics. Pick up your copy today to learn how the story ends.  

Spice of the Month: Cayenne Pepper

Although it has little aroma, cayenne pepper has a strong, spicy hot taste. This spicy taste is the result of capsaicin, a substance found in abundance in chili peppers. The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. Add some heat to your dishes with cayenne pepper. Pick up your spice kit today at the circulation desk.

Take Home Craft: Love Bug

Love is in the air. Stop by the circulation desk to pick up your kit with the materials to make a love bug.
