HPL Book Clubs
In addition to providing books for local, private book clubs, the Hopewell Public Library currently hosts a few regular book clubs. |

First Monday of the Month Book Club
|
This group chooses one book a month from both contemporary and classic fiction and nonfiction of all types. Led by volunteers, the group suggests, discusses, and votes to decide on the books for the upcoming year.
The HPL book club's December meeting will take place on Monday, December 5th from 7:00-8:00pm. The theme is A Winter Evening of Poetry - please bring a favorite poem for the group to read and discuss. The book club meets in the library on first Monday of every month, from 7 to 8 pm. Call or email the library for more information. |

Cookbook Book Club
After being dormant during 2021 due to COVID, we're back! For each meeting, the Cookbook Book Club chooses a cookbook – classic, new, hot, or obscure. Each member cooks one dish from the book and brings it to the library so everyone can sit down together and discuss the book while eating a feast from the book’s recipes. Cooking has ranged from Julia Child to vegetarian to soul food and beyond. Meets on a Tuesday evening every other month or so, from 6:30 to 8 pm, in the back reading area of the Library. Advanced registration is requested. Copies of the current books are available for perusal. |

This month's Cookbook Club meeting is at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 13. The theme is holiday appetizers and desserts. We are short of copies this time, so if you are able, come into the library and browse the cookbooks here. Take photos of the recipes that interest you and return the books to the desk. Otherwise, prepare a holiday favorite from a cookbook you have at home. Thank you!
There are four different book club cookbooks available for perusal this month at the HPL! They are Little Book of Jewish Appetizers by Lea Koenig, A Literary Holiday Cookbook by Alison Walsh, Celebrate with Babs by Barbara Costello, and Vegan Holiday Cooking by Kirsten Kaminski. Anyone who is interested may join the Hopewell Library Cookbook Club Facebook page.
