Cherbourg Bakery, Geri Peacock’s flagship location, began in Bexley, Ohio in 2010.

All items are made with minimally processed ingredients from as many local resources as possible. All products are made daily, by hand in small batches, and by following traditional baking methods and recipes.The name of the bakery came from Geri’s favorite port-town, Cherbourg, France. Her grandfather helped to liberate Cherbourg in 1944, and her grandmother came to the United States via the same town. Geri loves Cherbourg with its welcoming people and down-to-earth feel. Cherbourg Bakery offers that same sense of welcome, dependability, and warmth.

Marlon James is a Jamaican author who has been the recipient of a number of awards, including the 2015 Man Booker Prize for Fiction. The New York Times called his novel A Brief History of Seven Killings “... epic in every sense of that word: sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal and dizzyingly complex. It’s also raw, dense, violent, scalding, darkly comic, exhilarating and exhausting – a testament to Mr. James’s vaulting ambition and prodigious talent.”

The community is invited to the free lecture by Marlon James which starts at 7:30 pm in Mees Hall. To learn more, please click here.

Celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month with The Jasmine Spitzer Quintet!

The Jasmine Spitzer Quintet seeks out jazz tunes that aren’t found in the traditional canon of jazz standards, instead searching out modern compositions that still pay tribute to the rich history of this art form.

Karin will read from her stories and discuss the collection with Michelle Herman, Author and Professor Emerita of English, MFA Program in Creative Writing, The Ohio State University. The stories of The Geography of First Kisses explore the geography and complications of love, as revealed in the book's description: “A New Orleans girl spends a year collecting boyfriends and all the while considers the reach of her misadventures; a newlywed couple travels to Tulsa in search of a horse gone missing, perhaps more in search of themselves; a new mother is faced with understanding the miracles and mysteries of faith when her baby disappears; a young daughter travels to Tallahassee with her mother, trying to unravel the meaning of love crossed with abandonment.” Available now for pre-order, the collection will be released on April 11th.

Author Bio: Karin Cecile Davidson is the author of the novel Sybelia Drive (Braddock Avenue Books, 2020). Her story collection The Geography of First Kisses was awarded the 2022 Acacia Fiction Prize and is forthcoming from Kallisto Gaia Press in 2023.

The leadership of the City of Bexley, the Bexley City School District, and the Bexley Public Library is working together to plan an ongoing community program called the One Bexley project. One Bexley isn’t intended to replace work that we are continuing to do within our own institutions to address gaps in equity or to in any way alleviate the need for our own systemic reforms.  Rather, One Bexley is a program designed for participation by our entire community, aiming to bridge gaps in understanding, deepen community unity, and provide the tools necessary to create cultural transformation and foster a dynamic sense of belonging for all residents and visitors in Bexley.  This is an ambitious and exciting initiative, and one that will require the awareness and participation of the entire community.  

In order for this to be successful, the program requires deep community participation in the planning stages as well as the project launch.  We are holding a planning session for community members interested in helping to proactively plan and lead this effort, in anticipation of a wider community program to come.  We’re sure you have a lot of questions, and we certainly don’t have all the answers.  Asking you to join us in thinking through this program and how it can be truly meaningful for our community is a critical part of setting it up for success.

If you would like to help with the One Bexley project, a planning session will be held on April 19th at 6:30 p.m..  In order to help us plan for small-group facilitation and meeting logistics, we ask that you RSVP in advance via this link.

Don't know where to throw? Drive through the Green Bexley Cleanup Day to discard select unwanted or unusable items on Delmar Drive. A list of accepted items will be available at greenbexley.org/earthandarbor ahead of the event. 

If you have items to discard that are still in good working order, please consider rehoming them instead of putting them in the landfill! This is an annual opportunity to properly dispose of select items you no longer need or want. We ask that you stay in your car at all times and let volunteers remove items from your vehicle.

Rehoming items and buying used keep materials out of the landfill and negates shipping emissions, excess packaging, the extraction of new materials, and the energy used to create new products.

We will not be accepting large furniture or household hazardous waste (paints, chemicals, oils, etc.). For information about how to discard these items, please visit greenbexley.org/recycle-right.

This event is only possible through the generosity of volunteers. Please sign up to join in the fun at greenbexley.org/earthandarbor.

Join City staff and planners as we discuss the amazing projects planned for Year of the Parks. At this session, you will be provided with information and updates on Year of the Parks, with a focus on Schneider Park as part of the larger Earth and Arbor Days Celebration. A second session will be held on May 11 at Commonwealth Park!

Green Bexley and Bexley’s Tree & Public Gardens Commission are excited to join forces on April 22, 2023 for the Earth and Arbor Days Celebration from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm at Schneider Park, a former landfill which now is part of a long trail system and houses the Bexley Community Gardens. What a way to recognize how far we’ve come! See our exciting list of partners at greenbexley.org/earthandarbor.

This year, we’re celebrating one earth, one trillion trees; this concept marries the values of both organizations with the idea that one trillion trees can combat the climate crisis, regeneratively. The event will have fun, hands-on activities for kids and the whole family and will be an opportunity to learn more about taking care of our planet and arboretum!

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 9.7 million people misused prescription pain relievers, 4.9 million people misused prescription stimulants, and 5.9 million people misused prescription tranquilizers or sedatives in 2019. The survey also showed that a majority of misused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.

The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths. If you have expired or unused medications (pill or liquid) around your home, please consider properly discarding them on April 22 between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at the Bexley Police Station, 559 N. Cassingham Road, Bexley, Ohio 43209. Syringes and needles will not be accepted.

With the weather warming and Spring on our doorstep, it’s a good time to tackle a little spring cleaning in our community. For the next couple of weeks, Mayor Ben is launching Trash Talk with the Mayor, a community cleanup where volunteers preregister for a one hour, small group litter cleanup event with the Mayor. Registration and further details can be found here.

All proceeds from BRAVO! support the Bexley Education Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to elevating the educational experience for all students in the Bexley City Schools.Most recently the Foundation provided the funding for the School District to purchase a laptop for every Bexley student in order to “level the playing field” in technology access and usage. Foundation grants and programs increase student engagement, support collaboration and community building and bring diverse voices into the schools and classrooms.

Yiddish Book Center "Stories of Exile" Reading Group
Discussion of On the Landing: Stories by Yenta Mash

Quiet Reading Room

The Bexley Public Library has been selected as a participating library for the Yiddish Book Center's "Stories of Exile" Reading Groups for Public Libraries for 2023. We will begin this year-long series with a discussion of On the Landing: Stories of Yenta Mash. Naomi Brenner, Associate Professor in the Department of Near Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University, will co-facilitate the book discussion to provide cultural and historical contexts for these stories translated from Yiddish. Registration is required; those who are registered for the reading group will receive a copy of On the Landing to read and return to the library after the book discussion.

About the reading group:

The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. In this program, librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library. The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin.

What would it look like for us to redouble our efforts to ensure that each member of our community shares a deep sense of belonging?  How can we be better neighbors to new residents and to those who have historically been denied access to Bexley and communities like ours?  What if the best we had to offer - welcoming neighborhoods, a grounded sense of belonging, and dynamic opportunities for community members - was experienced equally by all members of our community?  

The One Bexley Project is a collaborative initiative of the City of Bexley, the Bexley City School District, and the Bexley Public Library, and will be a long term, multifaceted program designed to more deliberately and comprehensively bolster a community culture that ensures that Bexley is welcoming and provides a sense of belonging for all community members and visitors. The project aims to provide the information and tools necessary to create cultural transformation and foster a dynamic sense of belonging for all.  This is an ambitious and exciting initiative, and one that will require the awareness and participation of the entire community.

One Bexley is currently in the planning phase, involving a series of leadership and community workshops to help define the scope, format, and desired outcomes of the project. In order for this to be successful, the program requires deep community participation in the planning stages as well as the project launch. Our next workshop/session will be held on Thursday, May 18th at 6:30 pm at Schneider Hall in Capital University's Student Union. We would love to have you join us and look forward to adding your voice to this important and meaningful conversation.  In order to help us plan for small-group facilitation and meeting logistics, we ask that you RSVP in advance via this link.

Spring is a perfect time to read a sweet romance. Local author Libby Kay will share her latest book, Falling For You, a romance set in Buckeye Falls, Ohio. She will be in conversation with Liz Donatelli, the host of the Reader Seeks Romance YouTube channel.

Book Description

CeCe LaRue knows what she wants in life, and in the kitchen, and that's control. She doesn't have time for distractions—from her past or present. But that doesn't mean a certain bright-eyed coworker hasn't captured her heart.

Evan Lawson is a chronic optimist, and he brings his sunny disposition to everything he does, especially his job at the diner. It's obvious why he loves his job so much, and it has everything to do with CeCe. He's been crushing on her for a while, but he's biding his time. Much like the perfect recipe, love cannot be rushed.
When a major food competition comes to town, Evan is thrilled at the prospect of competing. Despite her stellar culinary skills, CeCe is hesitant to participate. The celebrity chef host is more than a pretty face; he's the painful past she's been outrunning for years.

Can CeCe open herself up to the prospect of love and give Evan a chance? Can Evan's optimism keep them both afloat?

Falling For You is part of the Buckeye Falls series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone read. Author Libby Kay's books are perfect for fans of Penny Reid and Sharon Sala's smalltown romances. These sweet romances will have readers falling in love with Buckeye Falls, Ohio. Slip in to this enchanting smalltown and stay awhile! You might just fall in love...
