Bartow County Library System

Today, we are featuring a Chinese folktale in honor of Chinese New Year this month! It's "Two of Everything" retold and illustrated by Lily Toy Hong! When Mr. Haktak digs up a magic pot in his garden that can duplicate anything that goes inside, the Haktak's are delighted. With this magic pot, they will no longer be poor! But magic often brings trouble, and when Mrs. Haktak falls into the pot, the trouble begins!

This winter, Bartow County Libraries will be giving out a different free spice kit each month during December, January, and February. The kits will include a recipe for a traditional soup or warm drink, a blend of spices needed for the recipe, and a bit of cultural and historical information on the recipes! Taste and learn something new this season with your library! February's blend is Roasted Acorn Squash Soup, a spicy vegan soup with Moroccan roots!
