Have
you checked out our new online catalog? Go to hancock.biblionix.com. Latest fun
thing that you can do from home is to write and post a review of a book or
movie. Click on the title, then scroll down until you see a tab that says either
REVIEW THIS TITLE or SHOW REVIEWS, which will then reveal a REVIEW THIS TITLE
tab. Won’t it be fun to share your opinions and see what others in town think
about various titles? We’re hoping both adults and children will write short
reviews. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to call and ask Amy at
525-4411.

The American
Cider Renaissance with Ben Watson
Americans
in huge numbers are discovering the pleasures of alcoholic or “hard” cider, yet
few people know much about its rich history and cultural traditions. Join
author, editor, and self-proclaimed “cider evangelist” Ben Watson for a
fascinating look at the past, present, and future of this most typically New
England tipple. What are the roots of cider? Why did it become so important in
colonial times, only to fall into obscurity? And why is it enjoying such a resurgence
today? Ben Watson is the author of Cider,
Hard and Sweet (Countryman Press, 2013) and several other nonfiction books.
He currently serves as Senior Editor at Chelsea Green Publishing Co. in Vermont
and resides in Francestown. For many years he has been involved with
conservation and biodiversity initiatives, through Slow Food and other
organizations, and he is a volunteer organizer of the annual Cider Days
festival in western Massachusetts. The US Cider Makers Association recently
presented him with one of its first Cider Industry Awards, in recognition of
his efforts to promote cider, apples, and cider producers around the world.
Free and open to all.
