Erie library hosts ‘Choose your own Easter egg hunt’

Stack of books

Do your Easter Egg hunt on your time at the Erie Public Library! Our eggs will be hidden all week from March 30 to April 4 waiting for the perfect time for you to find them. Let our librarian know you want to start the hunt and you’ll get 2 minutes to find as many eggs as possible. Return the eggs to the desk to claim your prize. No crowds, no schedule, no registration. One hunt per person, please. The hunt is free.

Cookbook Club

April 4, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Finally - a bookclub that always has snacks! We are cooking recipes from Good Things by Samin Nosrat. Stop by the library to flip through the book and pick out a recipe. Then bring it to Cookbook Club on April 4 so we can taste our way through the book. Email your recipe selection to Director@EriePublicLibrary.com. This event is free.
