Looking for a Tasty Recipe?

The Twinsburg Public Library features the Taste of Twinsburg Blog, which is regularly updated with new and delicious recipes. From appetizers to holiday meals to delicious desserts, the Taste of Twinsburg has it all. Most of the recipes were tried and tested by library staff and patrons. Beth Hatch, a Twinsburg Reference Librarian, creates videos for those especially difficult recipes.

Read for the Gold -Summer Reading Club Kickoff




June 1, 2008.

My first day as director started off with one of the best activities of the year, our Summer Reading Club Kickoff. The Youth Services and Adult Staffs and our teen volunteers were on hand to register nearly 400 people for our five different clubs. The community can participate in the Listening Club for ages 2-5; Readers club for ages K-3; Tweens grades 4-7; Teens grades 8-12 and the Adult Club. The Friends helped us by funding a visit from Party Animals who brought their fun inflatables; the Twinsburg Fitness Center provided an obstacle course and Frisbees for the children; and Giant Eagle of Twinsburg donated popsicles. It was exciting to see everyone so eager to get started on their summer reading. Both departments have worked hard to develop a fun program based on an Olympic theme. If you haven’t signed up yet, you have the whole summer to join!
