Books on the Bayou

It's that time again, when we ask everyone in Houston to share in reading one book, which this year is Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima.

One of our community partners, MacArthur Ninth Grade School (Aldine ISD) is helping to promote it. Dorothy Allen from that school will be by no later than Thursday, September 13 to pick up some flyers. They are on the CPU by the reference desk, under the bottle of hand sanitizer.

Here at Scenic Woods, we have two events planned:

Natural Cures and Folk Remedies: What does the Science Say?
Monday, October 15 at 6:00 PM
Does your family have its own remedy for the common cold? Do you take herbal supplements? Have you ever wondered if they really work? Learn how scientific studies are done and how they may demonstrate whether your home remedy really works or whether it is snake oil. Presented by the HAM-TMC library.

Book discussion
