The library’s staff enrichment committee (also known as the Party Planning Committee) invited staff to a “low tea” party in early June. Treats included hot and iced tea, savory and sweet tea sandwiches, and “digestive biscuits” (a.k.a. cookies). Staff members lent silver serving platters and utilized the library’s collection of tea cups. Enjoy the recipes for cucumber sandwiches with a spot of tea!
