SUNDAY FAMILY SUPPERS
January is National Sunday
Supper Month. A waning
tradition, the Sunday Supper
was once an opportunity after
a hectic week for families to
gather to spend time together
and share stories about their
week. The Library has a great
selection of cookbooks to help
you prepare the perfect Sunday
supper for your family.
