Let's get together and cook a potluck of recipes from our chosen cookbook!

This month we'll be cooking from My New Roots: Inspired Plant-Based Recipes for Every Season: A Cookbook by Sarah Britton.

Here's how it works:

1. Register for the club.

2. Check out a copy of the cookbook from the reference desk.

3. Choose a recipe.

4. Let us know what recipe you'll be making when you return the cookbook to the reference desk.

5. Cook the recipe for a group potluck at the library!

Plus, we'll be raffling off copies of the cookbook at the meeting!

Join us for stories, songs, rhymes, & other fun activities! Perfect for children ages 3+.

Each month on the third Wednesday at noon we'll
gather together and share a potluck of recipes from a chosen cookbook, chef, or cuisine! Stop
by the library and pick up a copy of that month's cookbook and then call or email Darcy to RSVP
and let the library know what recipe you'll be making for the potluck (970.884.2222 ext. 522,
darcy@prlibrary.org)!

Join us at the Hive (1175 Camino Del Rio) for a free poetry workshop! All are welcome.

All you need is a yoga mat and a water bottle. Some yoga tools such as blocks, a blanket and a strap are encouraged.
