Mayor to visit 'Books Between Bites'

Batavia's popular monthly noontime book program "Books Between Bites" welcomes the annual visit of Mayor Jeff Schielke Thursday, Oct. 16.

This year he shares highlights of the interesting historical information found in the collection of Batavia High School yearbooks that are available to peruse at the Batavia Public Library.

The program is held from noon to 1 p.m. in the large community room just inside the main entrance of the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave. The public is invited to attend this free program and reservations are not required. Parking is available in the lot just south and adjacent to the library.

People are invited to bring their lunch and eat as they enjoy the program and discussion. Lunch items, beverages and baked goods can be purchased at Chapters Coffee House & Café, just inside the library and adjacent to the meeting room. To pre-order for pick-up just before the program, call Chapters at (630) 406-8005.

"Books Between Bites" was established in Batavia in 1987 by the late Lee C. Moorehead. The program has been continued by Moorehead's wife, Betty, and his daughter, Becky Hoag, in partnership and co-sponsorship with George H. Scheetz and Stacey Peterson of Batavia Public Library.

For more information, call Becky Hoag at (630) 482-9157. The program runs through May and a complete schedule can be found at booksbetweenbites.com. Printed season schedules are available at the Batavia Public Library.
