I have 24 cookbooks on hold from the library.
Lately I've been checking out cookbooks from the library first before I go buy them secondhand. I've purchased a good number so far. Only a few of my purchases I haven't been able to get at the library. I am surprised how much they do carry.
A good chunk of the holds are for soup and stew books. I'd like to find one or two I really like.
Libraries are great!
