Spice Club (pick up on the fourth Friday of each month)

Included in each kit will be a page of recipes, information on the history of the spice and fun facts, and a small packet of spice (enough to make one or two of the recommended recipes). Spice kits will be available on the fourth Friday of each month. They can be picked up in the library building during regular hours. Kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
