Are you taking the 50 Book Challenge? I am....but I admit that I am reading a lot of shorter books in order to accomplish it Remember you have a WHOLE YEAR to read 50 books and they can be books of any length. Why not start with our 2012 Community Read book The Mangrove Tree? Click on the link to place a hold on this lovely children's book. This book has fantastic illustrations and is the story of our local Wenham hero, Dr. Gordon Sato. He started the Manzanar Project and solved the hunger crisis in Eritrea by discovering how to make mangroves flourish despite inhospitable conditions. Read about this amazing plant and the dedicated man who made it happen. You can meet Dr. Sato and share in his work on March 29 at Gordon College. A reception will take place at 6 PM and the lecture at 7:30 PM. The book may inspire you to consider growing some extra vegetables this year to share with Acord or another local food pantry. Please call the library for more information.
