Volunteers in this program handle all phases of the one-acre vegetable garden from planning and planting, to maintaining, harvesting and delivering produce to the RI Community Food Bank. During the height of production, surplus produce is offered to local residents on an old fashioned, honor system farm stand. This stand helps the garden to work towards sustainability. From 2006- 2012, the garden produced nearly 124,000 pounds of produce for those in need in RI. Volunteers have given 40,000 hours of their time. Library participants are invited to “drop by” and volunteer on Monday evenings from 5:30pm till dusk, beginning Monday, July 8^th through Monday, August 5^th. Upon each visit, library friends are asked to register with Miss Debra on the Story Blanket at the farm, located at 142 Abbott Run Valley Rd. in Cumberland RI. Drop by, volunteer with other library and community friends and enjoy the summer sunshine at this fantastic farm!

	6:30 PM - 8:00 PM	*Evening Book Discussion*

		Read The Help by Kathryn Stockett and you'll know why it spent more than 100 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List. “Set in the rural South of the 1960's, *The Help* is a startling, resonant portrait of the intertwined lives of women on opposite sides of the racial divide. Stockett's many gifts – a keen eye for character, a wicked sense of humor, the perfect timing of a natural born storyteller – shine as she evokes a time and place when black women were expected to help raise white babies, and yet could not use the same bathroom as their employers. Her characters, both white and black, are so fully fleshed they practically breathe – no stock villains or pious heroines here. I'm becoming an evangelist for The Help. Don't miss this wise and astonishing debut.” –Joshilyn Jackson, Bestselling author of Gods in Alabama Evening Book Discussion choices are available at the Circulation Desk. Here's a look at the book...

		Lionel Shriver, the author of this month's choice: We Need to Talk about Kevin, is widely published as a journalist, writing features, columns, op-eds, and book reviews for the Guardian, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, the Economist, Marie Claire, and many other publications. Eva never really wanted to be a mother—and certainly not the mother of a boy who ends up murdering seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage, in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails. (from the Book Description) Here's a look at the book...

		This month's book selection is Homer & Langley by E.L. Doctorow. Here, in the author's own words, is his description of the book: "In one sense I think of Homer & Langley as a road novel--as if they are two people traveling together down a road and having adventures, though in fact they are housebound. It turns out that the world will not let them alone--others intrude on their privacy as if it is the road running through them. As for their collecting, I think of them as curators of their life and times, and their house as a museum of all our lives. That is my idea of them, that is my reading of the Collyer myth. I make them to be two brothers who opted out of civilization and pulled the world in after them." --E.L. Doctorow Evening Book Discussion choices are available at the Circulation Desk.

		Dark Tide: the great Boston molasses flood of 1919 by Stephen, Puleo is this month's book choice. Around noon on January 15, 1919, a 50-foot-tall steel tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses collapsed on Boston's waterfront, disgorging its contents as a 15-foot-high wave of molasses that at its outset traveled at 35 miles an hour. This non-fiction book recounts that event. Evening Book Discussion choices are available at the Circulation Desk. Here's a look at the book...

		This month's pick is *The Snow Child* by Eowyn Ivey. In this, her haunting, evocative debut novel, Ivey stakes her claim on a Russian fairy tale, daring the reader--and the characters--to be lulled into thinking they know the ending. With the transparent prose of a fairy tale and descriptions to put nature writing to shame, The Snow Child immerses readers in a 1920s Alaska that will draw them back again and again.

		NOTE: THIS DATE WILL ONLY BE USED IF A SNOW DATE IS NEEDED. This month's pick is *The Snow Child* by Eowyn Ivey. In this, her haunting, evocative debut novel, Ivey stakes her claim on a Russian fairy tale, daring the reader--and the characters--to be lulled into thinking they know the ending.
