Join us on Thursday April 26th at 7pm here at Rye Public Library as local author, poet, playwright and film maker Lars Trodson reads from his new novel Eagles Fly Alone.
One little bird. That’s all it took to put an entire town on edge. When Langley Calhoun, the Chief of Police of Fenton, New Hampshire, decides that it’s more important to find out who committed a senseless crime than it is to protect the rich and powerful – and even members of his own family – then things get tense in peaceful little Fenton. The mystery that unfolds also forces the Chief to face the deep hostility that has been simmering between him and his older brother, a powerful lawyer, for decades.
Lars Trodson was born and raised in Rhode Island. From as early as he can remember, he wanted to be a writer. He started at his high school paper at Providence Country Day School and worked as a daily newspaper reporter and editor in New England for more than twenty years after college.
Lars is the recipient of numerous industry awards for his column writing and reporting for such newspapers at The Portsmouth Herald, Foster’s Daily Democrat and many others. He is currently a feature writer for The Andovers Magazine and Cape Ann Magazine. He is a published essayist, poet, and an award-winning filmmaker. He co-founded the popular blog www.roundtablepictures.com in 2007.
He currently lives in New Hampshire. Eagles Fly Alone is his first novel.
 Do you want to get your hands in the real dirt of bringing back locally grown food? Join us for the second of a two-part book discussion on local food sufficiency and farm sustainability in New England. Part 2 will be a Q & A with the author on Wednesday, May 18th, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. (Part 1 was held on Wednesday, May 11th.)
UNH Professor of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation John Carroll has written three books on sustainable farming in New England. He is the recognized expert in the field and has visited countless local farms and gardens during his extensive research.
Come discuss his most recent book, The Real Dirt: Toward Food Sufficiency and Farm Sustainability in New England, which is most relevant to local growing, in the first of a two part discussion on May 11, 6:30-7:30 PM at Rye Public Library.
Then come back to the Library on Wed. May 18th, 6:30-7:30 PM when John Carroll will join the group to answer questions and continue the discussion.
This is a great chance to dig deep in the rich soil of the current renaissance in New England agriculture.
Sign up for this two-session discussion at the Rye Public Library by April 22nd and receive a summary of Carroll’s first two books. The discussion book, The Real Dirt, will be available for purchase for $15 after the sign-up deadline.
This special event is sponsored by the Rye Historical Society, The Rye Energy Committee, and the Rye Public Library.

 Pilot, sculptor, and author Norm Phillips discusses his new book, Skipping Stones: Skimming the Surface with Thoughts, Thursday, May 26, at 7:00 pm.
“I think I’ve been exceptionally curious about life’s experiences all my life,” says Phillips, who turned 89 last year. “I’ve always been willing to turn the corner and step into the unknown.” Curiosity, he says, fuels his need to question the easy conclusions that people often make about what life is all about.”
This entertaining and informational program is free of charge and open to the public.
For the Love of Food: The Diet That Works
A nutrition discussion and Reading with Local Author Eileen Behan, R.D.
Saturday April 30th at 1:00 PM
 Here is a weight loss book for people and families who love food. Imagine a diet that is effective but not restrictive, a style of eating that allows you to eat the things you love, and lose weight. If you have tried many diets before and failed now is the time to try For the Love of Food: The Diet That Works.
Eileen Behan, registered dietitian and author of nine books on family nutrition releases her latest book on weight loss. Instead of counting calories or restricting food Eileen asks individuals to:
Rethink carbs! Don’t think good or bad, think “wet” or “dry”.
Learn why “dry” foods: pretzels, rice cakes, and granola bars are causing weight gain
Eat “Wet” food to control appetite and produce weight loss almost effortlessly
Avoid Hunger!
Why willpower won’t help you lose weight
Calories still count
Why sweet potatoes, olive oil and whole grains may prevent weight loss
“For the Love of Food: The Diet That Works is not so much a diet as it is a way of life, one that celebrates flavor and promotes health. This book should be used both as a reference and a guide to better living. And it should be in everyone’s kitchen.” ~Mary P. McGowan, M.D.
