Join us as we welcome Nicole Carrier of Throwback Brewery during American Craft Beer Week, May 14th-20th 2012 for this timely discussion of a locally produced and sourced (and outstanding) craft beer. Today’s consumers are increasingly interested about knowing where their food comes from. But what about knowing where your beer comes from? In this session, Nicole Carrier – Rye resident and owner of North Hampton-based Throwback Brewery – will discuss the process of crafting a truly local beer (from malting through distribution), as well as some of the challenges and opportunities. The session will conclude with a tasting of several of Throwback Brewery’s locally-crafted brews.
Enter our Baby Pictures contest! During National Library Week (April 9-April 13)please stop by to make an entry in our ongoing contest. Our entire staff has provided (suitably adorable) baby photos of themselves. Your task is to ID each of us from our days in diapers. Grab an entry form and jot the number of the photo beside the staff person’s name. At the end of the contest next Wednesday April 18th, the entry with the most correct answers will win an RPL Grab Bag with an assortment of promotional goodies from the Library and many of the publishers and vendors we deal with. (think pre-published uncorrected proofs–always collector’s items!) So join the fun, and you might also pick up a coffee and pastry on us during our reception event now extended through Friday 4/13 at noon! Join us on Tuesday March 13th for this timely and topical cooking demonstration.
