This will be Agocs’ first time eating a bug; she said she is
both anxious and worried that the juveniles will meet the goal
and she will have to eat the bugs!
“I’m not a big fan of bugs but I will do anything to get kids to
read.” Agocs said. The unique dinner is scheduled to begin at 4
p.m. Tuesday, August 26, at Birmingham Library, 203 Paine
Avenue, Toledo. This is the scheduled first day of school for
Toledo Public Schools.
SRC is a free program presented by the Toledo-Lucas
County Public Library designed to encourage children and adults
to catch the reading bug. Sign up at your local branch (teens
can sign up online at toledolibrary.org)
*According to an Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet on
Entomology, over 1,000 insect species are eaten by human beings
world wide. Many bugs are edible, nutritious, and easy to
obtain, but not all insects can be ingested. Some insects are
toxic and may create allergy problems. For more details,
