We’ve put together a summer line-up of earth
science and earth-friendly events to go along with
the exhibit. See page three for the first two Discover

Mystery & MAYhem
Recipe for a Good Read By Amy B. Foster, Scheben Branch Manager
As C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine
admirably.” With that in mind, during the month of May, we’re celebrating the
love of food and a good mystery with Mystery and MAYhem: Recipe for a
Good Read. From pizza to tea, to coffee and cakes, there are an endless number
of series which combine food and a great mystery…a winning combination.
Often referred to as culinary mysteries, these series have one thing in common:
all feature food in some way, whether by location or profession of the sleuth.
Haven’t tried this genre before? Stop by any Boone County Public Library
location in May and you’ll find a display featuring books from one of the many
culinary mystery series in our collection.
Are you a wine lover? Check-out the Wine Country series by Ellen Crosby. And,
here’s a clue: start by uncorking book number one, The Merlot Murders. Fancy
yourself a chocoholic? Sample one of the many books in Joanna Carl’s Chocoholic Series. Have a craving for something else? Grab one of our recipe card
bookmarks to find other culinary mysteries or stop by the Information Desk at
any location and one of our literary chefs (also known as librarians) will be glad
to cook something up for you.
Also during May, as an appetizer, each Library location will have a drawing for
a gift basket full of items to satisfy every food lover. And we’ll be giving a nod to
the wide array of food from our region with a main course grand prize drawing
featuring a basket of food items from around the tristate. Be sure to enter and tell
us on your entry form what culinary mystery you’ve devoured. In May, there’ll
also be food-related programs taking place at various Library locations, and
we invite you to join us at one of these interesting and fun events to celebrate
the delicious combination of books and food. Battaglia’s Deli, inside the Main
Library, will offer specials throughout the month from recipes found in popular
culinary mysteries. To quote Virginia Woolf, “One cannot think well, love well or
sleep well, if one has not dined well.” Bon appetite and happy reading!
Discover, explore, experience a lifetime of learning.

Votes for Women
Kentucky women’s fight for
suffrage began long before it was
signed into law in 1920. Women’s
rights activist Susan B. Anthony visited
Kentucky in 1879, to gain the support
of Kentucky women. Much earlier, in
1837, widows in Kentucky (this right
did not extend to people of color) were
entitled vote on behalf of their dead
husbands in school district elections.
This is widely considered an early
landmark in women’s suffrage, but the
decision was not final. The Kentucky Legislature repealed women’s
school-district voting rights in 1902,
then restored them again in 1912.
The subject of the larger women’s
vote was regularly covered by the
press. The Boone County Recorder’s
editorial columns often praised the
courageous hearts and gentle souls of
local ladies, but did not support their
right to vote. This flattery did little to
quiet the narrative; discussion continued. One editorial contributor to the
Recorder in 1902 pointed out the root
of the movement, noting the following: “Is it not merely an objection to
taxation without representation?” His
resolution was to offer the Women’s

By 1916, women’s suffrage made
the news with even more frequency,
but had become a more complicated
issue. Often, the women’s suffrage
movement was linked to other causes:

labor issues, and adult workers’ rights
among them. Many of the same
advocates for women’s voting rights
were also vocal on these issues and
the suffrage movement was rarely
mentioned as an independent issue.
Prohibition of alcohol was the most
divisive of these causes, and often was
