Meetup @ the Library

Bring your knit, crochet, needlework or handcraft projects and join us for a relaxing session of stitchwork and good company!
We are a friendly and welcoming group of all skill levels from beginner to advanced. It’s a great opportunity to trade yarncraft tips and tricks, to socialize, and make new friends—so come on down and join us for a fun and creative time!
Sit & Stitch meets in the Library’s Blanche Johnson Delaney Large Meeting Room or the Marjorie Moore Board Room. We may also meet outside, if the weather is nice.

About the Book
In this groundbreaking book, one of America’s most fascinating, original, and elegant writers turns his own omnivorous mind to the seemingly straightforward question of what we should have for dinner. To find out, Pollan follows each of the food chains that sustain us—industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves—from the source to a final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating. His absorbing narrative takes us from Iowa cornfields to food-science laboratories, from feedlots and fast-food restaurants to organic farms and hunting grounds, always emphasizing our dynamic coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and animal species we depend on.Each time Pollan sits down to a meal, he deploys his unique blend of personal and investigative journalism to trace the origins of everything consumed, revealing what we unwittingly ingest and explaining how our taste for particular foods and flavors reflects our evolutionary inheritance.
