National Grilling Month
June 29, 2025
Click your tongs together twice for luck, it’s National Grilling Month! Summer is the best time for outdoor cooking so it’s not surprising that July is the chosen month to eat delicious foods made on the grill. If you can stand the heat (from both the sun and the fire), invite your family and friends for a day out. Plan fun games and music, and try new recipes as you enjoy the outdoors.
Lackawanna County Library System can help you cook up an amazing party with our Library of Things (as long as it doesn’t rain). Borrow some outdoor games such as Ladder Toss, Croquet, Giant Dice, and Tennis. Enjoy music on a CD boombox or portable Bluetooth speaker. Save memories of your kids playing with a bubble machine on a GoPro. Leave the picnic tables for socializing and store all your snacks on a collapsable table.
And of course, be the star of the potluck with a new recipe by visiting your local library’s cookbook selections! And remember, where there’s a grill, there’s a way.
