Composting at the Library
by Anna Merritt 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Looking for advice from libraries that offer Food Waste Collection/Compost drop-off. Does your library have a community compost or do you work with an entity in your area to drop-off/pick up the compost donations? Our community is small, but, as far as I know, no entities in the area have community composting.

Program Recommendation
by Arleen Wood 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Hi, I wanted to share information on classical guitarist that we've had 3 times and have never been disappointed - Peter Fletcher. He has played at Carnegie Hall and has a house in Detroit (as well as New York City) so he's not too far away to travel. Attendance is always good (75-100 people), which we hold at local community theater - the acoustics are good! I think he likes people and feels honored that they took time out of their day to come to the concert. He always meets them after the concert to talk music or just say hello. I usually let the music teachers at local schools know so they can pass the word to their students. We do get a wide variety of people attending. He's a pleasure to work with and his fee is not unreasonable. It is similar to other performers we have had. Last year it was $650 all inclusive. Concerts run about 70 minutes. If you are interested, I've included a link below for more information. https://peterfletcher.com/ --
