To prepare for the event, the library will close at 4 PM on that day.
Ripe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables by Cheryl Sternman Rule is arranged by color, not season. Food writer Rule, who is also the voice behind the popular blog "5 Second Rule,” and award-winning food photographer Paulette Phlipot have teamed up to bring inspiration to hungry home cooks. Starting with red and progressing towards a calmer white, Ripe is arranged by color to showcase the lush, natural beauty of fruits and vegetables. Each fruit and vegetable is accompanied by a lighthearted essay, breathtaking photography, and one showcase recipe along with three "quick-hit” recipe ideas. With 150 photos and 75 recipes, this unique cookbook will quicken your pulse and leave you very, very hungry.

KFL Updates its Long Range Plan
KFL has begun the long range planning process. At a recent Board retreat, the previous 2005-2011 plan and its outcomes were reviewed and evaluated.Since we don't have a crystal ball, we want to have as much input from the community as possible to our survey to create a meaningful document that is a usable tool and that will stay fresh for the coming five years ahead.
To speed the process and to make survey-taking a painless 5-minute process, KFL is using an electronic survey via "survey monkey” in addition to printed surveys. As a bonus for completing the online or paper survey, you may print the coupon at the end of the survey and redeem at KFL for a neat bumper sticker.
