When I went online the other day to request a copy of Alice Waters and Chez Panisse for the next installment of our Food for Thought book club, I discovered that the public library has a whole slew of food-focused events happening in the next month. As part of their Green Stacks program, which they coin a “community research for living a greener life”, they are hosting everything from a meeting on planting a victory garden to fighting global warming from your dinner plate. Bravo SF Library, bravo! Here are a list of the events.
On Wednesday, April 31st, I’m going to attend an author talk with Novella Carpenter, the mastermind behind the book Farm City. I’ve been dying to read this book for a while now – it’s a memoir about a woman “who turned a vacant lot in downtown Oakland into a thriving farm”. I love learning about local food heroes…and who couldn’t use a little inspiration in turning urban space (hello windowsill garden) into an edible landscape. Farm City is also part of the SF Library’s On the Same Page program, San Francisco’s bi-monthly book club. So it’s on the shelves in MASSIVE volume right now. I got the book a few days ago and have been power reading ever since. Hopefully I can finish it by Wednesday!
Here are the details for the talk:
When
Wed, March 31, 2010
7:00 – 8:30pm

500 Cortland Avenue
