Murrieta Public Library

Join the Friends of the Murrieta Library as they welcome Laotion-born, Vilayvanh (Vanh) Bender, R. D., to speak at their April 21st meeting at 1:00pm in the Glass Lab at the Murrieta Public Library. 
A war refugee from Laos, Ms Bender grew up in the United States and currently lives in the local area with her family.&nbsp;Mommy Eats Fried Grasshoppers&nbsp;is a story of generational and cultural differences between mother and daughter. Endearing illustrations show Mahlee learning how differently Mommy did things as a child in Laos than she does in America. Mahlee loves doing everything with Mommy, but will she eat fried grasshoppers? 
 Written for her daughter, the Grasshopper book shows the power of storytelling. Ms Bender has talked at multiple local schools in her cultural clothes, presenting over twenty activities related to her book. Her daughter is now in college and takes these reminiscences with her.
You’ll want to be sure not to miss this interesting and informative presentation especially if you have your own cultural differences to share with your families. Bring your families to this free program to learn if Mahlee does finally eat fried grasshoppers. Look for her recipes on Food.com.
Come meet this interesting author, visit with friends and neighbors and enjoy the lovely refreshments provided. The public and guests are invited.
Not only do the Friends of the Murrieta Library provide support to the Murrieta Public Library through fund-raising, advocacy and volunteerism, they promote awareness of and support for the Library as it serves the informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs of our Community. Their monthly meetings serve as a low-key cultural event for our local residents, providing the opportunity to meet, first hand, with established and published authors.
The Murrieta Library is located at 8 Town Square, on Adams, between Juniper and Kalmia. For further information, please call Rita Nastri 698-8640.Or visit our website at <a href="https://www.murrietalibraryfriends.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.murrietalibraryfriends.org</a>
