Book Club for Foodies
Introducing a new book discussion group to Gutekunst Public Library. Book club for Foodies. Every other month starting February 24, 2025 at 7pm, we will read and discuss a book about food or foodie people. Our first selection will be "A History of the World in 6 Glasses" by Tom Standage. Copies are available now at the library.
From Good reads "Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period."
Cook the Book, March 3, 6pm.
"Hey, good lookin'-what ya got cookin'?" Cook the Book on March 3 will be preparing and sharing recipes from Dolly Parton's new cookbook "Good Lookin' Cooking, A Year of Meals." This cookbook presents the recipes by month and celebration. March's recipes include Shamrock Sauerkraut balls, Corned Beef Brisket with Carrots, Cabbage and Potatoes, Cast-Iron Cornbread Sticks, and Irish Dream Cake. So many great recipes! Circle this date on your calendar and join the group!

Thank You for Supporting Our Bake Sale!
The Friends of the Gutekunst Public Library would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who baked delicious treats, stopped by Central State Bank on February 14, 2025, to purchase goodies, and to Central State Bank for generously allowing us to host the sale again this year.
Thanks to your support, we came just short of our $400 goal, but every dollar raised helps fund important library programs and resources. We appreciate this community’s ongoing generosity and support!
See you at our next event! 📚🍪❤️
