Ongoing Programs
Cookbook Club
Grab a spice/seasoning kit and try the recipe that comes with it like usual. Then, so long as COVID numbers remain low, join us in person for a themed potluck. Kits are available up at the circulation desk. July's spice is dill weed and the recipe is Dill Pickles – Potluck on July 18th (Bring something that requires something to be pickled or contains pickles)
Find our gnome!
Our gnome keeps wandering around and we could use your help finding him! If you are going on vacation or having a stay-cation, you can grab your own paper gnome to color and take with you. Snap a photo of you and your gnome and email it to us at bdpl.ref@mcfls.org and we will display your photo and give you a prize!
Reading Rocks
Keep an eye out this summer for decorated rocks with a label that says Brown Deer Public Library. If you return a rock to the library (or re-hide it and take a picture to show us), we will give you a prize! Please be mindful of where you hide the rocks and try to place them on public property only. Some business owners have asked to not participate in this program. Thank you for your consideration!
