Adult Summer Reading is going great so far, with over 350 people registered and dozens of folks who have started completing Activity Badges. But there are still plenty of badges to earn, including the Explore Food badge.

One of the Activities you can complete to earn this badge is checking out a cookbook from the library. You can use one of our great ebooks book services, or you can stop in and take a peek at our shelves. Below is a list of some cookbooks you might find interesting that staff put together. And don’t forget that once you try out a recipe you find in one of these books, taking a picture of it and sharing it on social media (and tagging us!) is another Activity for this badge!
