LSSU Library Culinary Series – “Make it personal: Owning your college food experience”
Monday, September 20, 2021 @ 4pm
Library Learning Commons
Do you find yourself wishing for something a little different?
Something more than the daily routine?
Something to win friends and impress your roommates?
Try making it yourself!
When you learn to prepare your own food using a few common cooking implements and some simple tips and techniques, you take control of a large part of your life.
Whether you want to start eating healthier, are looking for a way to showcase your hosting skills, or just want to add a little spice and pizzazz to your diet, learning to prepare food in the privacy of your room will give you a great start.
We will be learning to prepare fresh and delicious food using cooking equipment you may already have on hand. Using hands-on demonstrations and take-home recipes, you will come away with a new understanding of what it takes to be a great home cook.
This event is free and open to the public.

Pi Day 2021 Piaku Contest
To celebrate Pi Day this year, LSSU Library is holding a Piaku Contest.
What is a Piaku?
A Piaku is a form of poetry similar to Haiku, but instead of the 5-7-5 syllabic form, the number of syllables per line corresponds to the digits of pi. And, given the nature of pi, there is no limit to the length of a Piaku!
An example Piaku, created by Marc Boucher:
The Textbook
(3) Why oh Why
(1) Do
(4) Students fail to
(1) Read
(5) Before going to
(9) Class when they know the teacher will ask
(2) Questions
(6) They will not raise their hands
(5) For they do not know
(3) The answers
To submit your Piaku for our contest, email it to [email protected] by 3:14pm on March 12, 2021.
And please join us in the Library Learning Commons by the giant whiteboard on Thursday, March 11 @ 2pm for a Piaku workshop to craft your winning piaku. All submitted piakus will be shared to our Facebook page and displayed on the library’s lobby monitors.
What does the winner get?
We will include the winning piaku in the April 2021 Communique, and the winning poet gets a pie!
