Speaking of MLDV...

We've just added another 26 videos to the MLDV collection. Michael Chiarello's Napa television series features episodes on creating canola, ganache, California-style ribs and the 4 P's (polenta, pasta, pesto and prosciutto) as well as my personal favorite--choosing a complimentary California wine.

Call the library's Reference Desk (770-431-2860 x4) to get your password and start downloading your next dining experience.

Art in the Library

Growing up within the dynamics of two divergent cultures Grace Hashimoto found constancy and purpose in creative expression - practicing music, creative writing and drawing in her formative years, progressing to formal training at Kyoto Art college where her studies focused on weaving and batik.
In her early 20's Grace married, took the name Hashimoto, and gave birth to a son - the perfect expression and promise of unity. Today, Ms. Hashimoto, her son and other members of her family continue to offer their unique bi-cultural perspective in their livelihoods both in the United States and abroad.
In Grace Hashimoto's art, one can see the sparse and elegant lines of eastern culture merge with the numerous colors and complexity of western culture in expressions of diversity and union.
Ms. Hashimoto's exhibit will be on display through April 30.
