In this episode, Julie and Cindy discuss what's new at the Wallingford Public Library and what they've been reading. Then they talk about books that make you feel as if you've traveled to far-flung places in a nod to the fact that so many of us are choosing to skip the annual summer vacation and stay close to home. They end by sharing recipes they've been cooking and baking.
