In 2013, the Big
Library Read program brought us Michael Malone’s
Four Corners of the Sky and Jane
O’Connor’s
Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth.
Now, East Central Regional Library
is participating in the third Big Library Read and you are invited to join
us!
This time we are
going on a culinary adventure, with
Keys to the Kitchen, by
Food Network and Cooking Channel star
Aida
Mollenkamp.
Big
Library Read kicked off yesterday, February 17
th, and runs through
March 5
th.
Big Library Read
creates a "global book club" which allows users to join readers across
the world in reading the same book at the same time! Over 5,800 libraries worldwide are able to lend
Keys to the Kitchen eBook to millions of users simultaneously for
free.
The program demonstrates the valuable role libraries play in
connecting readers with books and authors.
Keys to the Kitchen is a cookbook by definition, but it’s also
much more than that.
For members of the
tech-savvy new generation who can't cook but want to, this essential reference
guide is an ideal starting place. For those already at ease in the kitchen it's
full of "who knew" moments for expanding your repertoire of great
recipes. It doesn’t just provide ideas on
what to cook, but also walks the reader
through
how to cook.
Keys to theKitchen is an
invaluable foundation for cooking with more than
300 recipes, color photographs, informative illustrations, a substantial
technique primer, and helpful how-to information on subjects as wide-ranging as
rust removal, throwing a cocktail party, and knife skills. What
amateur chef doesn’t need that kind of info? I know I do!
Remember, the
especially unique aspect about Big Library Read is that, for the duration of
the program, the eBook will not follow the traditional one copy/one user model
but will simultaneously be available to
all ECRL eBook users to borrow via
our
Digital Library. No
wait lists! The eBook is available in the OverDrive Read, Kindle, Adobe
EPUB, and Adobe PDF formats.
