Cookbook Club – September Sign Up

Are you ready to spice things up? Join our Solon Public Library Cookbook Club! Each month we will provide members with an uncommon herb, spice, or ingredient along with ideas of how to use it. Participants can post photos of their culinary creations on our Cookbook Club Facebook group or join our Zoom meeting to share their experiences.

Spices will be available for pick up the first week of each month during our curbside pickup or library appointment times. Our first ingredient? Dried lavender! Visit our Pinterest page (Pinterest.com/SolonPublic) for a sneak peak of ideas on how to use it.

Zoom meetings will take place the last Tuesday of every month, with the September meeting taking place on Tuesday, September 29 at 6:30 PM.

Registration is required to ensure we have enough supplies for all, so please call the Library (319-624-2678) by (/29 (as supplies last) to participate. Come try something new with us!
