Program Description

Event Details

Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley may not be a household name today. But a century ago, he was dubbed the father of the pure food and drug act. And it’s thanks in large part to him and a little known group of research volunteers that the food we eat is safe.

Deborah Blum’s “The Poison Squad: One Chemist’s Single-Minded Crusade for Food Safety at the Turn of the Twentieth Century,” pays tribute to Wiley’s work and his legacy. The book is the 2019-20 Go Big Read selection.

Join us for a book discussion of "The Poison Squad" on November 20th. Please register at the Information Desk or by calling 608-825-0702. A limited quantity of books is available at the Information desk.
