Travel is limited right now; heck hanging out with your extended family and friends is off the table right now, but don't fret because for November ICPL has Teen Window to the World Book Bags. Escape reality and travel between and across worlds.
Register for the bag and recieve a book (randomly assigned,) a Korean face mask (because self-care is so important,) a Japanese snack (because eating has become a national quarantine past-time), a wanderlust sticker and a map of the world with stickers so you can plan all of the fantasic places you'll visit in your life (once air-travel and road-tripping is a go!). The clocks have gone back, it's dark at 5:30 pm so hunker-down and explore the bigger world around you!
Book Bags are available for pick up beginning November 3rd and are first come, first served. To register, click here.

About the Author
Victoria is the Teen Services Librarian.
The author Michael Pollan advises in Food Rules, "Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize;" meaning the food industry has radically changed; especially the Western diet. These words rang particularly true when Decolonize Your Diet co-author Luz Calvo was diagnosed with breast cancer (despite being a vegetarian for 15 years.) She began to research and found that immigrant born Latinas had significantly lower rates of breast cancer than US born Latinas; prompting her to revisit the indigenous cuisine of Mexico. What follows in this cookbook are some amazing recipes cooked with high amounts of fiber, fruits, vegetables and revolutionary love. Fans of Sean Sherman and Beth Dooley's The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen and Michael W. Twitty's The Cooking Gene will deeply appreciate this cookbook. Also, try the Caldo De Quinoa; it's a great soup and Winter is Coming! -Victoria
