12 Days. 12 Cookies. 12 Books.

The staff at Annapolis Valley Regional Library invite you to share in the joy of cookies.  For twelve days in December, staff will be baking – and sharing – cookies. Each recipe will be shared online via Twitter @valleylibs and Facebook, on our website, and here, on this blog. The cookies will be sent around to various branches, so you might even get to taste them!

Staff will bake a recipe, photograph it, and share the recipe and book on our blog. “This is a fun way to showcase the library’s collection of cookbooks, especially during the holidays when many people are baking.”, says Frances Newman, Regional Librarian.  The staff of AVRL invites everyone to take a look and see what we are baking on December 5-9, December 12-16, and December 19-20.
