https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2022/09/28/teens-cook-marquette-food-c… "MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Teens are learning to cook in Marquette. The Peter White Public Library held a teen cooking class at the Marquette Food Co-op. The library invited kids from ages 11 to 18 to learn how to make different dishes using fresh and local food. On the menu Wednesday was shakshuka, a North African dish consisting of a poached egg in tomato sauce. Organizers say the event was a fun way to learn important life skills. “It’s very hands-on learning,” said Amanda Pierce, Peter White Public Library teen coordinator. “We show them a few techniques then they cook the whole recipe from start to finish. It’s just a way to give the kids some life skills and make it fun for them.” This free event was held at the Marquette Food Co-op Wednesday from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. The Peter White Public Library’s next event is a costume swap this Saturday. It will be accepting costumes through Friday."

I was wondering if any libraries have done an author fair at their branches. We are thinking of doing one and inviting local authors and Michigan authors to attend. My district has never done one of these but we're in the brainstorming stage for planning something for next year. Any info would be great! Thanks all. -- Jenn Donner, MLIS, M.Ed.
