I don’t know about you but I get tired of cooking and eating the same old, same old week after week. As much as I enjoy dining out, it isn’t always the best choice for my budget. I decided to get creative and check out a cookbook at the MCPL Liberty Branch this week and plan at least three different meals to make for next week.

One of the first Dewey decimal location numbers I learned when I started at the library was 641 – cookbooks. Cookbooks have been consistently popular during my first 4 years at the library and several different titles have caught my eye recently. Whether you are looking for your favorite TV chef’s latest offering, or for something new to offer at your family’s dinner table this week, we probably have a cookbook for you.
I love cooking and baking, and am always looking for new cookbooks and recipes. Anytime I bring a cookbook back to the library I'm asked, "Did you find a new recipe?," "Try anything new?", "Need us to taste test anything?"

One of the unpredicted by-products of the internet has been internet memes. The "RickRoll", LOLcats and their quests for cheeseburgers, "Chocolate Rain", and Diet Coke/Mentos fountains are examples of a phenomena that have catapulted to widespread fame on the Internet via email and social media sites.
