On Tuesday, October 19 at 7 p.m., a panel of nutrition experts discussed healthy food choices in the special program, To Eat or Not to Eat? That is the Question. Today’s supermarkets provide so many choices, it can become difficult to decide which foods to purchase for a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition experts Jessica Yep, MS, RD, CDN – Registered Dietician and Founder of Nutrition Consultants LLC, Mimi MacLean, Holistic Health Coach – The Well Balanced Life, and Ronna Corlin, Healthy Eating Specialist – Whole Foods Market addressed food issues such as overeating, portion-size awareness, making healthful food choices for your family (especially children), and the importance of plant-based living.

This program was part of the Library’s Health & Wellness Series, “A Picture of Health,” an extensive series of lectures, expert panels, computer workshops, and films. The schedule offers sessions on a variety of health issues, including nutrition, stress management, personal safety for children and teens, pain management, holistic medicine, sleep disorders, and medication management.For more information about the Health & Wellness Series, please click here.

In the spring, Darien Library hosted the Marine Art Exhibit. Marine Art is regarded as one of the most popular forms of fine art. In practice, it takes many forms, including painting, drawing, printmaking, beach scenes, and all art showing boats.  At the close of the show, we had the opportunity to interview Phil Meyer, whose incredible model ships had graced Main Street during the exhibit.  In this interview Mr. Meyer talks about the art and craft of model ship building, and points out the details of each of the ships that were displayed.
