Books! Books! Books!
Do you have paperback books collecting dust on your selves? Packed away in a box? The Hamilton Public Library would love to have your books! We are running low, and as summer approaches, the need for paperback increases! Will you please donate your paperbacks to the library? You can drop them off during hours of operation, or you can use the book drop at any time! Thank you for your donation! We have had a few book series that you should come in and check out! There is something for everyone! You might try the following: The Aubrey/Maturin Novels (which are Historical Naval stories) Sharon McCone Mysterie by Marcia Muller Ann Rice books and Elizabeth George books. 
Cooking With Bonnie
If you live in the Hamilton vicinity, watch for the next, "cooking with Bonnie", a free program at the Hamilton Public Library. Bonnie usually picks out recipes we might be too timid to try at home because of the unusual ingredients, but I can't think of a single one that we didn't love! Last Spring, we made taco-flavored (veggie) black bean burgers with quinoa that are DELICIOUS! And last night we made a whole wheat pasta, nut (pistachio), cheese (Pecorino-Romano - made with sheep milk!) and vegetable (butternut squash, swiss chard, leeks) dish that had us all coming back for seconds. YUM! Can't wait to see what she'll come up with next! Thanks, Bonnie! |
