Introducing KDL Reads!
by Heidi Nagel 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Kent District Library is proud to present KDL Reads, a community reading event centered on the book Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. This powerful memoir chronicles Woodson's coming of age amid the backdrop of the turbulent 1960's. Woodson finds her voice and tells her story through beautifully rendered poems steeped in memory and rich with family ties. Because reading is as much about discovering our commonalities as learning about our differences, we hope that KDL Reads inspires community members of all ages to: * Read this book * Explore their own cultural heritage and family experiences * Engage with others about those experiences, and * Create something personally meaningful Of special note to our library community in Michigan are the following events. We hope you can join us! KDL Reads: Kick-Off Event Featuring Vox Vidorra Join us as we kick-off KDL Reads with a free concert featuring Vox Vidorra, live poetry by Dimonique Boyd, Deonte Osayande and Justin Rogers, door prizes and refreshments.

Parents, caregivers and educators will discover how children's books reflect a child's own culture and life experience, while also opening windows to a bigger, more diverse world. There will be a book sale and signing following his presentation. Tuesday, April 26, 2016 6:30pm to 8:00pm Wyoming Branch (3350 Michael Ave. SW, Wyoming) KDL Reads: An Evening with Jacqueline Woodson KDL is honored to welcome award winning author Jacqueline Woodson to help us wrap-up KDL Reads, our community reading program centered on her book Brown Girl Dreaming.

Do any libraries pop popcorn for their programs?
by Jessica Enget 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Are there any other libraries that own a popcorn popper for programs? My library is interested in purchasing a popcorn machine so we can pop and serve fresh popcorn at some of our community programs. Before we made the purchase, we wanted to find out if there were any food safety health code regulations we need to be aware of. Is there a special license or permit we'd need to obtain? If so, what is the cost/process? What would be within regulation to pop and serve popcorn? Only library staff would be handling the machine, making, serving the popcorn, and cleaning after use. Thank you in advance for your help! Jessica L. Enget Adult Services Librarian Portage District Library 300 Library Lane Portage, MI 49002 Ph. (269) 585-8711 Fx. (269) 324-9222
