Join Euclid Public Library along with 7 public library systems across Cuyahoga County to read, gather, and share stories about food and community this spring. It’s all part of this year’s NEA Big Read celebration called “Bite into Books.”
The event starts on Saturday, February 28 with a kickoff at the West Side Market from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM and runs through May. Visitors will receive free books at the kick-off event and have an opportunity to share their food story.
Each public library will host special programs and celebrate the chosen community book “Bite by Bite” by Aimee Nezhukamatathil. The book is a collection of essays on the foods that shape our stories. You can place “Bite by Bite” on hold or read the eBook and audiobook on Hoopla.
