Culinary Arts Reading Room

The Office of Development and Planning is accepting book donations, mon-fri 8:30am-4:30pm, of any food-related subject in an effort to build a collection of books that will serve as a unique reference library for area residents and visitors to the newly created "Culinary Arts District"

"Even in the digital age we still want to hold a book...it connects us to the past....the Reading Room provides that opportunity"

Whether you copy a recipe, pick up a cooking tip or just get motivated, after a visit you’ll want to bake, steam or braise a new or classic dish.

It's our goal to provide a place to create memories and new cooking traditions for you and your family.

The Culinary Arts Reading Room is a unique way, a hands-on way, a totally cost-free way for you to share time with children of all ages…let them explore, learn and get excited about the culinary arts.

"...we have received so many interesting books, including subjects from all backgrounds, techniques, regions and even published family recipes...one title dates back to 1936. Most in near perfect condition.
Anyone remotely interested in food will lose themselves in this collection!"

The Tourist Center is located at 50 E. Broad St.
(next to Rite Aid).
