Ottumwa Public Library

Food — nothing is more basic to life, yet nothing conjures up more fond (and tasty) recollections than the foods we share with family and friends. From Grandma’s chicken and noodles to Mom’s homemade cinnamon rolls, food does, indeed, bring back fond reminiscences of the “good old days.” The Ottumwa Public Library’s Reminisce Society will be exploring that topic-- “Food: the Stuff of Meals and Memories” -- at its March meeting Tuesday, March 22nd , at 10:00 a.m. Special guest speaker will be Maryanna Lanigan with her collection of Ottumwa cookbooks. Everyone is welcome to attend. Bring your favorite recipes and recollections, and join others in remembering the ways food and family are forever entwined in our memories. For further information, please call the library’s Reference Desk at 682-7563, ext. 205.
