Healthy Eating Lunch Program to be held Nov. 21 at library

In less than two weeks, most of us will be sitting down to Thanksgiving Day dinner, enjoying family favorite recipes and commenting later in the day that we ate too much!

The Back Mountain Memorial Library is offering an alternative to avoid overeating - a Healthy Eating Lunch Program with Natural Chef Toby Landon. This lunch/lesson will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21.

The nutritious and tasty vegan lunch will include a calcium rich beverage, protein packed sandwich and

creamy autumnal pumpkin pie. Toby Landon, raw food chef and instructor, will demonstrate how to create the meal using the tools found in your kitchen.

During this program, participants will learn how to prepare great-tasting, easy-to-make healthy recipes (which require no cooking!) and, at the same time, discover some of the benefits of eating healthy foods.

The cost of the lunch/program will be $10 and payment is required at the time of registration. Call the library at 675-1182 for more information.

Medicare program

The library is also offering another program during the month of November. An Overview of Medicare will be held at the library at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19. A discussion of the changes to Medicare 2010 will be followed by a question and answer period. Handouts and freebies will be available.

Space is limited and registration is required for both events. You may call the library at 675-1182 to reserve your space.

Amnesty Week

Don’t forget to return any long overdue library books during our Amnesty Week from November 16 through November 21. During this week, we will waive accrued fines for any materials checked in during this week.

Thanksgiving vacation

The library will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 26, to celebrate Thanksgiving and will re-open on Friday, Nov. 27.

Slightly Read Bookshop

Also, the Slightly Read Bookshop will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and on Saturday, Nov. 28. It will re-open on Monday, Nov. 30, by continuing its half-price sale on VHS movies, audio CDs and tapes throughout the month of November.
