Welcome, Fellow Foodies & Bookworms!
 

Library Week 2025 (Dec. 1-5): “Every Flavor Tells a Story” — our featured activities are ready for you to explore.

What if you could borrow a scent? What memory would you seek?

A familiar aroma-a sudden flash of the past. A perfect bite-a scene from your favorite novel appearing before your eyes. 

Scent and taste are the invisible keys to our deepest memories and unspoken emotions.

As 2025 draws to a close, the Library invites you to a week-long celebration that blends the world of books with the sensory experience of food. 

Join us from Monday, December 1st, to Friday, December 5th, for activities that will engage all your senses!
