Library Announces Event for Chile Lovers

The New Mexico State University Library presents The Complete Chile Pepper Book book signing and chile tasting. The gala chile event will be held Friday, November 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. on the third floor of NMSU's Zuhl Library. It is free and open to the public.

Come and meet chile experts Dr. Paul Bosland and "The Pope of Peppers" Dave DeWitt, and purchase an autographed copy of their newest book. Anyone who purchases a copy of the book at the event will receive a free Chile Pepper Institute 15th Year Anniversary commemorative poster. There will also be a multimedia presentation about chile and a hot and spicy foods tasting.

The proceeds from the sale of each book will benefit the NMSU Library and be used for the purchase of agriculture books. Please RSVP to Kristina Martinez at (575) 646-3642 or email krismart@ad.nmsu.edu.
