Yummy smells fill the halls of library on Wednesday, March 7, as the library hosted the children’s program Cook up a story. This month, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, the event channeled the luck of the Irish and made leprechaun mist, potato chip casserole and lots of green food.
According to children’s librarian Marge Keenan, they focused on potatoes this month, because of their importance in Ireland, and made a potato chip casserole. Keenan said that they try to pick a recipe with a lot of ingredients, so everyone could actively participate in the cooking fun.
While the casserole cooked, Keenan read stories to the group that focused on potatoes. Finally, the participants made placemats and it was time to eat.
Cook up a story is held on the first Wednesday of every month at the Orion Township Public Library.
