Ask A Librarian

Just in case some of you are unaware, we wanted to let you know that the Land O' Lakes Library has a special display that we do each month to help our patrons in their search for interesting reading material. We call it our Staff Picks Display and each month after painstakingly poring over mounds of books :) we carefully select that special one to be our staff pick. In order to check out these wonderful gems all you have to do is visit your Land O' Lakes Library and pick one up. Of course, they are in high demand, so get here early or you may have to put one on hold.Without further ado here are the staff picks for September:
Iveta's Pick: East of Eden by John Steinbeck Jessica's Pick: The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry
Erin's Pick: Stop Acting Rich and Start Living Like a Real Millionaire by Thomas Stanley
Paul's Pick: City of Glass by Paul Karasick
Michelle's Pick: Aftermath Inc. Cleaning Up After CSI Goes Home by Gil Reavill
Be sure to check out our display next month. We will be doing Spooky Staff Picks in honor of October.

After this feast - you might rather have a famine! Twelve brave souls faced the horrors of a Paul inspired feast. Starting off gently with onions, artichoke, and yuca, the feast progressed to include: garlic pickled tomato, spam w/ sauerkraut, green Jackfruit, beets, perserved kumquats, pepperfish, cat food, soy skin, sailfish meat creamed rice, eggplant, milkfish in tomato sauce, clam juice, baby food, squid, cracker with wasabee, Limburger cheese, Jalapeno peppers, marmite and a snake fish. Every contest held strong until the Limburger cheese took down five contestants in one shot. Then came the final round with the dreaded Durian fruit - illegal in some countries due to its raucous smell. CJ, Troy, Adam, Nicki, and Natalie held tough till the very end, but the audience voted and settled a tie between Troy and Adam. Adam won the $50 prize, but all our finalists got bragging rights!
