Join us for a Book club-meets-potluck Book Club event! Each month, we choose Cookbook. Each participant picks a recipe from that cookbook, makes that dish, and they brings in the dish to share. This month’s Cookbook is, Open Wide by Benny Blanco.

It’s a potluck with lots of talk about cooking and recipes and how to improve on them. And it's about community, getting to know our neighbors and making new friends, in a fun, social setting.

Make sure to let the librarians know which recipe you will be making so we don’t duplicate recipes.

Board Meetings are open to the public. Monthly meetings of the Bowman Regional Public Library Board of Directors are regularly scheduled on the third Monday of every month at 4pm in the BRPL WorkRoom.

Are you on the hunt for a cozy nook to geek out with fellow bibliophiles? Look no further than the Bowman Regional Silent Book Club! This delightful gathering at the Bowman Regional Public Library is your chance to revel in the joy of reading in a super chill and uplifting atmosphere.

Forget about assigned books; just grab your current page-turner and dive blissful silent reading with your new bookish buddies. We’ll kick things off with tasty treats to get you comfy.

Then, get ready for a half hour of peaceful book time! And to wrap it all up, the last half hour is totally up to you—keep reading, explore the library’s treasures, mingle with other attendees, or snag some stellar book recs from the library staff.
