It's 2018! What are your reading goals for this year? How many books do you want to read? And of course, what are you currently reading?

It's almost the end of the year! What were your favorite books this year? What book(s) did you not like at all? And of course, what are you reading this month?

We have started a new kind of book club at the library.

This group is for food-minded adults ages 21 and older who are curious about cookbooks and the authors who write them. Each class will feature a new “flavor” that will keep you coming back for seconds! Participants choose, test, discuss and review recipes from selected cookbooks. Meetings are held on the first and third Monday of every month. Make plans to join us for dinner!

What are you reading this month?

October is a busy month at the library this year! We have our 12th Annual Edible Books Contest going on October 6th and we have our Book Sale starting on October 13th.

For more information check out our Facebook Events on our Facebook page.
