For the Love of Peanut Butter

Whether old or young, everyone can appreciate a great peanut butter sandwich. That’s why Hannon Library has provided a charming display case for Peanut Butter Lovers Month, located on the second floor, in the Children’s Collection of the library.

Peanut butter was first patented in November 1895, by John Kellogg, an occasion that has been celebrated by peanut farmers for years until National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month was establish in 1995.
