SAVE THE DATE: Classic Book Club: Wednesday, February 9, 7:00pm
“Classic” books are classic for a reason – their literary excellence transcends passing fads, and they continue to engage readers generation after generation. 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. This month we're reading A Room with a View by E.M. Forster.

Whoopie! It’s January and a New Year. Chocolate whoopie pies are just what’s needed to celebrate the start of 2022. The surprise about this recipe is that it came from one of the library’s fiction books, The Café Between Pumpkin and Pie, which was not where I was expecting to find a delicious treat. As I looked, it was interesting to see just how many other fictional books included recipes. I’m looking forward to trying a few from the Red Sparrow trilogy by Jason Matthews. Hopefully they will turn out to be just as tasty as these are. the recipe!
