The Cochise County Library District is sponsoring a county-wide “Big Read” for June, 2021 of the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.
Everyone is invited to read this book, either as individuals or as a part of a book club or other group. The critically-acclaimed bestseller chronicles the struggles and triumphs of Kingsolver and her family as they adopted a locally-produced diet.
Multiple copies of this book are available at all libraries in the county, as well as through various book sellers. Ebook and audiobook versions are also available. The library district also has book club kits available for groups who might want to read it.
“We have seen a strong interest in eating local food here in Cochise County, and this book gives an in-depth look at the challenges and delights of a local diet,” said Library Director Amadee Ricketts. “Kingsolver is an engaging and passionate writer, and this book is an enjoyable read about everything related to eating local.”
The library district will be holding several events as a part of this Big Read, including a pop-up book discussion on Zoom on June 30 at 6:00 pm.
This Big Read is a part of the Eat Local project, which is designed to increase awareness of and action toward eating local food among Cochise County residents through various activities, including two county-wide Big Reads, the creation of directories of local food producers and markets, new books and displays at county libraries, an online community, local events featuring expert speakers, and materials for schools and children.
There is a high demand for local food in our area, particularly since the pandemic. Eating local food has many benefits, including economic development, environmental health, food safety, community building, personal health, sustainability, and the simple pleasures of taste.
More information is available at eatlocalcochise.org and facebook.com/eatlocalcochise.
The Eat Local project is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
