The Huntington Branch is launching a new book club for adults called Cooking the Books! Running from September 2024 to May 2025, this book club will alternate food based presentations/activities and book discussions on titles that relate to food in some way. Book club members will also get to show off their culinary skills by making and sharing something they’ve made at the book discussion meetings! Meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:15^pm – 6:15^pm.

By registering for this book club you are committing to 9 months of monthly meetings; 5 months will be activities/presentations, and 4 months will be book discussions with an associated food swap, on an alternating schedule. Book club members get priority registration for the 5 activity/presentation programs.
