Book Clubs
No Fiction Here Book Club The “No Fiction Here Book Club” is a book club featuring a monthly non-fiction topic discussion!
We’re doing something a little different this month for the holiday season! December’s meeting will be all about holiday cooking and baking. Choose a cookbook with seasonal recipes, make a recipe from that cookbook (sweet or savory), and bring it to the library to share!
If you need some inspiration, we have created a list of titles for this month’s topic below. The library will supply plates, bowls, napkins, plasticware, and bottled water for the sampling.
Want to receive this list or similar directly to your email?
