July is National Culinary Arts Awareness Month, and the display on level 3 features cookbooks and other fun titles for checkout. The term “culinary arts” includes not only the cooking of food, but also the presentation, and these covers certainly reflect that. Here is a small sampling of what the stacks offer. Come in and check them out!

These titles were selected by Bri Altman, a student who works at the library.
