Winter is a fabulous time for baking, isn't it? It's cold and dreary outside, the sky is gray...who isn't in the mood for some sweet homemade treats (preferably with colorful frosting to offset the steel gray of February...)?I personally love checking out cookbooks from the library. Cookbooks are expensive, plus how do you really know that any of the recipes will work for you? Borrowing them is a great way to give a cookbook a test run to see if you'll really use it.
We've pulled together a bunch of our baking books into a book display that makes use of our library's lovely bay window. In it you'll find everything from Who Made This Cake, a picture book in which a cake is "built" using construction equipment; to Pop Bakery: 25 cakes on sticks and other tempting delights, a volume chock full of mini desserts that you can carry with you.
All of the titles in the display are available for you to check out.
We also have some charming fiction titles about baking, like Eat Cake by Jeanne Ray and the popular Hannah Swensen mystery + recipe series by Joanne Fluke.
Craving baked goods but no time to make them yourself? We have at least two programs this week that directly involve bakery goodness:
- Abraham Lincoln's Birthday Party (Tuesday, February 12 at 5:30 p.m.) - come to this annual program to hear a speaker about President Lincoln, and celebrate with birthday cake!
- Love Our Patrons Day (Thursday, February 14 all day long) - stop in to browse for books, DVDs, or pick up your holds today and you'll get a treat! It's our way of saying "thanks for loving your library"!
Special thanks to Tyler O., our student volunteer, and Caitlyn S., our student worker, for their work on this display!
