Rarely does a week go by that I do not see one or more articles about the health benefits of good home cooking. “Eat more vegetables and fruits,” they coach. “Pursue the Mediterranean diet,” they preach. “Ditch the beef in favor of fish and chicken,” they challenge. To a retired single person, that advice may sound good, but is it really going to make a difference? Most seniors are more likely to sit down to a bowl of cereal or a sandwich than to a home-cooked meal. After years of cooking for a family, it may be hard to motivate oneself to cook for only one. Don't worry the library has a number of cookbooks seasoned just right for the single cook.
As 2015 came to a close, we didn't quite cross the 1 million checkout mark for our OverDrive collection last year but we did end up with a healthy 991,573 checkouts of our eBooks and audiobooks! Why don't we make a resolution for 2016 to be the year we all resolve to increase our usage of this collection, even if that means starting to use it in the first place?
