Holiday Cookery | Los Angeles Public Library Jump to Navigation Jump to Content Holiday Cookery A Survey of Science, Technology and Patent's Department Holdings This survey is meant to show the variety of materials on Holiday Cookery in the LAPL Central Library Department of Science, Technology and Patents. Many of our books are specifically related to holidays. Other books have material that you might want, but where to look for them isn't easy to figure out. Some of the books may sound strange, but do have the special or ethnic recipes that we might not have in a cookbook on the country or region. Some will give some cultural information and provide names that can be searched as subjects. The Art, Music and Recreation Dept. has materials on entertaining and parties. Some of their materials will also contain some cookery. The Science, Technology and Patents Department has a large collection of materials on holiday cookery. These materials can be found on terminals in our branches and on the Internet at www.lapl.org and clicking on the home page catalog button. Circulating copies can be reserved on these terminals and sent to the desired branch for pick up.
