Hello!
We have a proposal to try an adult cookbook club at one of our small branches, with the premise being that patrons would register, check out a copy of the month’s cookbook, and bring in a dish to pass from the cookbook to share. Has anyone done anything like this before?
The alarmist in me immediately thinks of the safety of a potluck, and how do we protect ourselves from any potential liability…have waivers? Just a general notice at the event? Or am I being too paranoid?
If anyone has done such an event, I would greatly appreciate your feedback/experience, off list. As usual, I would be happy to compile and share any responses I receive.
Thanks so much!
