In Locally Sourced we ask local business owners to talk about an influential or special book they’ve read. Chris Hamel is one of the owners of the new ice cream and Hawaiian shaved ice shop in Libertyville – My Flavor It! Place.

Chris stopped by the library to talk about a favorite book with a local Chicago connection, great for history buffs and true crime connoisseurs. We get into how author Erik Larson’s nonfiction reads like a riveting novel and why a book about the Chicago World’s Fair connects with him as a small business owner.

Check out The Devil in the White City from the library.
