Fresh Food Fairy Inquiry
by Caroline Salucci 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Hello all! Has anyone had the Fresh Food Fairy at their library for a program? ( https://freshfoodisfun.com/) She was at MLA this Fall with her Bike Blender and I thought it was awesome, but I wanted to know how she has performed at other libraries. Have you had her for an event? If so, can you share how things went and what you all did? Any information you have is appreciated. You can also send information to me privately (Caroline.Salucci(a)baldwinlib.org) if you'd rather. Thanks! Caroline Salucci -- Caroline Salucci *Youth Services Librarian* Baldwin Public Library 300 W. Merrill St. Birmingham, MI 48009 248-554-4672 www.baldwinlib.org
