If there are classics you have always meant to read “someday,” or if you read them in school before you were ready to appreciate them, now is the time to enjoy them with other adult readers.

Barbara's Recipe Corner is now "Cindy's Recipe Corner"! After more than four decades of service at PFPL, Barbara from our technical services department is retiring, and frequent guest contributor, Library Assistant Cindy, will be taking over! Each month she will continue share one of her favorite recipes for you to try out at home. It’s summer! A perfect time for my son’s recipe for simple Baked Beans. This is my go-to recipe for barbecues and potlucks, and it’s always a hit. It’s very flexible, so feel free to make it your own. Adjust the level of spiciness to your taste. Use the beans your family will eat. It makes a small batch which is great for a dinner at home, but can easily be doubled or tripled for a larger group. I hope you enjoy it. the recipe!
