A partnership of the History Book Festival and the Lewes Public Library, this monthly discussion group, sponsored by Dogfish Head, focuses on books that were featured at the 2019 Festival. The group is open to all lovers of history and meets at the Library on the third Wednesday of the month at 2 pm.

This month's book is SLIME: How Algae Created Us, and Just Might Save Us, by Ruth Kassinger. (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019)

ABOUT SLIME
SLIME is a vital tool for understanding how algae help the human race exist. Kassinger tells a multitude of lively, surprising science and history stories with around-the-world, behind-the-scenes and into-the-kitchen perspectives. Featured algae innovators committed to a sustainable future include seaweed farmers in South Korea, scientists using it to clean waterways and entrepreneurs fighting to bring algae fuel and plastics to market.

Author Ruth Kassinger will join the discussion by Skype.

Registration is requested.
Sign up online or by calling the library at 302-645-2733, or stopping by the Circulation Desk. Walk-ins are welcome. Copies of SLIME will be available at the library circulation desk.

Purchase SLIME at Browseabout Books, official bookseller of the History Book Festival, and help support local independent bookstores. Online sources and digital versions are tempting; however, supporting local brick and mortar shops helps to preserve our vibrant main streets.
