The Orrville Public Library has activities for all ages scheduled in December.

Cookbook Club

“Baking Yesteryear: The Best Recipes from the 1900s to the 1980s” will have you baking chocolate potato cake from the 1910s and an avocado pie from the 1960s. This decade-by-decade cookbook by B. Dylan Hollis includes past recipes and even a few of the worst.
