With the holiday season quickly approaching us I thought it might be helpful to remind you of the large collection of cookbooks we have here at the library, more specifically holiday related cookbooks.

We have recipes representing holidays from around the world. Below are just a few that I've decided to highlight. If you'd like to come and browse our collection you'll want to head to the 641.5 or q641.5 (oversized books) area of our non-fiction stacks or check out a new display of holiday cooking and craft books located just outside the children's room.
