I LOVE the holidays! With Thanksgiving approaching, and fast (!), you may be thinking about what you would like to do for the holiday.
When it comes to Thanksgiving, I’m happy either playing it low-key by going to a nice restaurant and seeing a movie (yes, movie theaters are open) or having a great feast with family. If you need ideas for Thanksgiving, the library has great books to get you going.
How to cook a turkey : and all the other trimmings / from the editors of Fine cooking magazine.
Magazines are also a great source for recipe and decorating ideas, particularly around the holiday. Two magazines that offer great ideas include Fine Cooking and (one of my favorites) Country Living. The library has these periodicals and other great magazines, located in the Stern’s Room, available to check out.
For history buffs:
Greenwood Daily Life Online – an online database available from the library that offers a look at daily life of many cultures throughout history.
Thanksgiving : an American holiday, an American history / Diana Karter Appelbaum.
For children:
The Children’s Department at the library has a great selection of holiday books. For books on Thanksgiving, search under subject keyword ‘Thanksgiving Day’ and limit your results to the Children’s room. Click here to see the list!
