Tuesday, July 16 at 6 pm
With concerns about climate change increasing by the day, cacao producers around the world are working to ensure their farms survive the changing growing seasons. Likewise, small batch chocolate makers find themselves a surprisingly large piece of the puzzle–supporting farmers by purchasing beans that were farmed in a sustainable way and employing their own green practices to chocolate production, packaging, and delivery chains. We’ll also talk about the fabled history of the Arhuacos, an indigenous tribe in the Sierra Nevada region of Colombia that considers themselves stewards of the environment, and have raised cacao for over 500 years.
Presentation includes chocolate samples!

Cookbook Club
Cookbook Club meets once a month to share a potluck style meal. All you have to do is make a recipe from the chosen cookbook!
See what people are bringing to this month's meeting!
On Wednesday, August 7 at 6:30 pm we will cook from:
Good Cheap Eats by Jessica Fisher
Copies of the books will available at the desk. Please let us know which recipe you’re making so we can avoid duplicates by emailing sduffy@cwmars.org. In addition to tasting everyone’s dishes, we’ll also discuss the cookbook overall, which recipes we’d make again, and which ones we’d skip or adjust. Please, no alcoholic beverages (even if there’s a recipe for one in the book). And, as per Massachusetts state law regarding potlucks, please be advised: Neither the food nor the facilities have been inspected by the state or by a local public health agency.
Book Discussions
Book club books will be available at the Library’s circulation desk following the previous book group’s meeting.
