Attention food lovers! Enjoy cooking and trying new cuisine? Join Montclair Cooks the Books! Our first cookbook book club!
Each month, we'll explore a different theme and then share our experiences, challenges, and tips at the meeting. People are welcome to bring a dish to share as long as it doesn't require refrigeration or reheating and must submit a list of ingredients prior to the meeting. All listed resources are available with your library card via the catalog or digital library.
If you plan to bring a dish, please contact Janna Hull at JHull@pwcgov.org with your list of ingredients prior to the event.

Montclair Library serves a bustling suburban community in eastern Prince William County. With large glass windows and a stone terrace suited for outdoor performances, the LEED-certified building offers inviting spaces for children, young adults, and adults, including 22 public access computers, a PS5 gaming station, and a fireplace in the reading room.
Library grounds are also home to a restored 19th century historic property known as the Barnes House, an important part of the county’s rich African-American heritage.
Montclair’s community room offers seating for up to 100 people and a large-screen TV for presentations. There are four group study rooms. An individual quiet study room is also available on a first-come, first-served basis.
