This month Julie and Cindy discuss what's new at the Wallingford Public Library and what they've been reading. Then as a holiday gift to their listeners, Julie and Cindy ask each other the questions they've asked the brave souls who've been guests on the podcast in the past. And they end by sharing some delicious recipes they've been cooking up.
