Celebrate the end of the year with a seasonal cookie exchange! Use a personal favorite recipe, or check out a cookbook from the library to find a new one. We have different options in the branch, as well as ebooks available online! Then, make a batch of your chosen cookies to share. Please bring the cookies and a copy of the recipe to the exchange, as well as something to take your exchanged cookies home in. We’re excited to see what you make!
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change. For a list of upcoming library events, visit HSPLS Events Calendar.
