the space to be a culinary artist
All summer long, we’ve been highlighting how to Color our World during the Summer Adventure. Creative art projects and colorful stories have taken over the library. But we don’t want to forget about delicious it is to color our world through food!
This month, stop by the library to explore new recipes in our extensive cookbook collection, share your excess garden bounty, or try your hand at other appetizing excellence! Poudre Libraries is the space to be a culinary artist!
