Spice It Up!

Spice up your kitchen with the Livingston Public Library’s new Spice It Up! program. From seeds to spices, the Livingston Library has everything you need to elevate your culinary creations. We offer more than just ingredients, we provide a journey. Every spice has a history, every seed a legacy. Understanding their origins, the cultures that cultivated them, and the traditions they represent adds depth to your cooking. It transforms every meal into an experience, connecting you to the rich tapestry of flavors and stories from around the world. 

Starting Monday, June 2nd at 10am, you may pick our packaged spice kits by the Reference Desk. The spice for June is garlic powder. Each kit will contain a sample packet of that month’s spice and a QR code leading to the history behind it as well as recipe recommendations. Kits are sponsored by the Friends of the Library and are available while supplies last.

Interested in exploring other ways to use these spices? Visit the library’s Seed Library where you can borrow and donate seeds for growing flowers, herbs and vegetables. Explore Library Chef, an online platform that offers live virtual cooking demonstrations. Consider joining our Cookbook Club, which meets bi-monthly and shares recipes from a selected cookbook.
