Library Cookbooks
Summer is here and my girls are out of school on vacation. My 8 year old came home with a reading list for her summer reading so we took a visit to the local library to pick up a book.
I love libraries and I have to admit I don’t get to them very much but that is going to change. On this trip I was wondering down the “Adult Isle” and what do I come upon but rows and rows of cookbooks. There were dozens of them, some new, some old. Many I already own, but many more that I don’t
I have never thought to take out a cookbook from a library but why not. There are lots of good reasons to check out a library cookbook.
· Gives you a chance to look it over before purchasing it.
· You may just want one or two recipes from it.
· You don’t want a bookcase filled with cookbooks.
· You buy cookbooks and just let them sit on that bookshelf.
· You want to save a couple of bucks
I have a fairly good-sized cookbook collection that does fill a whole bookcase. I don’t think I ever met a cookbook I didn’t like or didn’t want to own. Although with the Internet so readily available, I find myself doing a lot more research on the Net.
