Calling all patrons of the New Jersey State Library Talking Book and Braille Center!

We invite you to reminisce about beloved homemade meals and treats. Do you have a cherished recipe you’d like to share? We’re excited to announce a nationwide project where TBBC patrons and NLS staff members can contribute their favorite recipes!

Think back to the comforting taste of your mom’s kitchen, the delightful casseroles you enjoyed after school, or those unforgettable Christmas cookies from your grandma. We want to gather these recipes for “The Community Table,” a unique collection that will be produced in audio, braille, and (eventually) large print.

Join librarians from South Carolina and Florida as they create a heartfelt anthology filled with love, memories, and culinary delights from across the country.

To contribute, please email your recipe along with a brief paragraph explaining why it’s special, to tbbc@njstatelib.org.

Thank you for helping us create something truly wonderful to share!

About Julia Giantomasi

I've had opportunities throughout my career to coordinate marketing and social media for live events and small businesses across various industries. I've enjoyed keeping up with the trends and using social media to not only promote quality services but create a sense of community. As the PR & Marketing Coordinator for the New Jersey State Library I can draw from these experiences in order to provide tips and best practices for libraries handling their own marketing and social media. I hope that I can be a resource to libraries across New Jersey as they engage with their communities.
