Ever thought about eating bugs? Join your fellow community members as we discuss entomophagy (the practice of eating bugs) and The Gateway Bug, a documentary about feeding humanity in uncertain times. Watch the documentary ahead of time through our hoopla app (available to FDL patrons only; see your home library for assistance with hoopla and to check availability). Documentary includes some language.

Email jessica@fondulaclibrary.org for a Zoom invitation to the discussion at 2 p.m. on March 23. Everyone is welcome to join the discussion, especially if you have experience with entomophagy or have read any of the books available in our catalog on the subject, such as:

Edible by Daniella Martin

Eat Grub by Shami Radia & Neil Whippey

Eat-A-Bug Cookbook by David George Gordon 

This is part of the Resilient Community series of programs in partnership with the East Peoria Green Team. Keep an eye out for more in the future!
