Kansas libraries offering specialty baking pans

Kansas libraries offering specialty baking pans | The Information Professional | Scoop.it

by Pilar Pedraza:

"You may think libraries are just for books, but in Kansas they’re seeing a renewed interest in an old topic,  cake pans.  Dozens of libraries have hundreds of specialty baking molds and more and more Kansans are checking them out.

“We have 75 circulating cake pans in our collection,” said Carla Heideman, Interim Director of the Andover Public Library.  “Everything from Barney to Barbie.”

They're not what you'd expect to find at a public library, yet dozens of Kansas libraries have them.  Often, they're a prized secret, known only to those who use them or stumble across them."
