At CPL, we have a wide range of cookbooks for every occasion, diet and cuisine. You can find celebrity chefs, guides to living well with health restrictions, and quick ideas for weeknights. Right now, we also have a spinner rack near our front door with recommended recipes for seasonal celebrations. Grab an idea or two during your visit.
If you can’t make it in to the library, hoopla has you covered with hundreds of e-cookbooks you can access without leaving your home. Libby has an incredible collection of cooking magazines, from foodie faves like Bon Appétit to themed recipe collections from Allrecipes, Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living and much more!
