Cooper Memorial Library is hosting a great new year of programming, with fun events to capture everyone’s tastes and interests. On that note, we present our ‘Taste of Fall’ programs in October, and our ‘Gather, Rejoice & Read ‘programs for November and December. This year we are presenting our Food & Cookery Series, which will include visits from cookbook author and television personality Valerie Hart, and Julie England, from the UF/Lake County Extension Services. Valerie will be with us on Wednesday, Oct. 3rd, for Soups, Salad, & a Centerpiece, and will be showing us how to create tasty dishes using seasonal foods, including Pumpkin Soup, Butternut Squash Soup, and Stuffed Acorn Squash. Valerie will also be showing how to use pumpkins and flowers to create a lovely centerpiece for your table. On Wednesday, Oct. 17th, Valerie will be back for Delightful Desserts, to bring us some tempting and yummy seasonal treats, including Apple Strudel, Cranberry Mousse, and she promises to surprise us with another sweet offering. Both programs will be in our Community Room 108 A, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., and there is no registration required, so come join us and bring a friend with you. Julie England will be joining us on Thursday, Oct. 18th, to show us how to can and preserve foodstuffs with Food Preservation Basics, and she will be back on Thursday, Nov. 1st, with Healthy Holiday Meals, to show us how we can create healthy and wholesome versions of all our favorite holiday foods. These programs will be held in our Community Room 108, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and no registration is required.
