Foof For Though Book Club Reading ‘First Bite’
We are not born knowing what to eat; as omnivores it is something we each have to figure out for ourselves. From childhood onward, we learn how big a “portion” is and how sweet is too sweet. We learn to enjoy green vegetables—or not. But how does this education happen? What are the origins of taste?
In “First Bite,” award-winning food writer Wilson draws on the latest research from food psychologists, neuroscientists, and nutritionists to reveal that our food habits are shaped by a whole host of factors: family and culture, memory and gender, hunger and love.
The book club is offered in partnership with the Inland Northwest Food Network.
For a list of upcoming books, check the INWFN website: /inwfoodnetwork.org/.
The Food for Thought Book Club is reading “First bite: How We Learn to Eat” by Bee Wilson. The book will be discussed Wednesday March 1, at 6 p.m. in the Gozzer Room.

Libraries Collecting Makerspace Comment
The Coeur d’Alene and Lake City public libraries are conducting a survey to determine what patrons want for makerspace equipment and programs.A makerspace is a community-operated workspace where people with common creative interests, often in computers, technology, science, art crafts, and sewing, can meet, socialize, and collaborate.
“Our community already has an excellent – fully equipped – makerspace at Gizmo,” said Library Director Bette Ammon. “And it isn’t our plan to compete with that resource. The libraries are considering adding equipment and events to create a makerspace environment appropriate for our facilities and staff and we want to know what our patrons would like to see here.”
People can respond to the survey online at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/92D3PW2 and can also fill out a paper version at the main library, 702 E. Front Ave., or at the Lake City branch in the high school on Ramsey Road.
Information: info@cdalibrary.org or call 208-769-2315.
