Happy Friday All! We hosted Maureen Abood last night and it was a huge success! She is very friendly and personable, plus she made some amazing food! She signed her book, Rose Water & Orange Blossoms, and we sold out! Make sure you have plenty on hand for your programs. I will definitely make her recipes and she offers many of the ingredients at MaureenAboodMarket.com. If you get the chance to visit a neighboring library that is hosting her, go! It was a wonderful program and I highly recommend it. Michelle Moore Library Director Ardis Missaukee District Library 210 S.
