LIBRARY COOKING

Now there are two Cookbooks you can download and use to keep public computers running in your library! Packed with tips and techniques from public librarians from across the country, inside each Cookbook you’ll find practical information covering a variety of topics.

A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who contributed their experiences (find out who shared their stories on the acknowledgment pages)!
