Coming in September!
Bee Local @ Fredricksen:
A Honey & Local Foods Festival!
Bee Local @ Fredricksen is the Library’s first annual honey and local foods festival. Planned for September, National Honeybee Month, the Library hopes to raise awareness of the importance of bees to our community and environment, the benefits of beekeeping and backyard gardening, and the critical role both play in our local agriculture and food industries. The festival will kick off with a regional premiere of Queen of the Sun on Friday, September 16, at 7 p.m. This film, which took top honors at 8 film festivals, focuses on colony collapse worldwide. Read the N.Y. Times Critics Pick Review HERE
The following day, Saturday, September 17, the festival will highlight sources of local, fresh, sustainable foods and honey, pollinator-friendly gardening techniques and a farmer’s market. Speakers on Saturday will cover various topics including:
• beginning beekeeping
• community supported agriculture (CSAs) presented by South Central PA Buy Fresh Buy Local
• gardening for pollinators
Festival Activities will include:
• The Bee Local Farmers' market with produce, honey, beeswax products and local foods for purchase.
• Informational booths to meet representatives from local nonprofits, membership organizations, beekeepers, and CSAs.
• Children's activities, including the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau's Mobile Ag Ed Classroom with a hands-on lesson on pollination.
Finally, Fredricksen will celebrate the conclusion of construction which will bring the library into the 21st century world of green energy! Thanks to two stimulus grants, one from Cumberland County and one from Pennsylvania Conservation Works, coupled with a generous bequest from library user Beatrice Kelley, the library was able to reconfigure the heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, add solar power, and sharply cut energy costs. Get a firsthand look at Bee Local!

Looking for Health Info?
Jackie Barton, Assistant Director
If you or a loved one is looking for health information, stop by Fredricksen Library or East Pennsboro Branch Library. We have the most up-to-date books on a wealth of health and wellness topics, and over the past year, we have further expanded our collection of health materials. Thanks to a $15,000 LSTA Grant, we have added 467 books for checkout at Fredricksen and 254 books for checkout at East Pennsboro Branch Library. We also updated our Reference materials by adding 37 titles at Fredricksen and 17 titles at East Pennsboro Branch Library. Remember, in addition to our book collection, we also have many health-related DVDs and access to health databases. See a complete list of the new materials HERE.
Before we began selecting materials, we conducted a patron survey. The most popular topics at both Fredricksen Library and East Pennsboro Branch Library were exercise, women’s health, diet, alternative therapies, and aging. We bought heavily in these areas, and also bought material to fill gaps and update information. As always, if you are interested in a particular title (current or upcoming), please let us know by filling out a purchase suggestion in person or online. Read More
