Event Details
Social media sensation Babs is coming to the library to introduce her new cookbook, EVERY DAY WITH BABS: 101 Family- Friendly Dinners for Every Day of the Week, to be released on April 8th. Join us and get a first look!
Babs Costello, known as Brunch with Babs on her wildly popular channels on Instagram and TikTok, has taken the internet by storm with her warmth, enthusiasm, practical tips, and motherly wisdom, earning her the title of “the internet’s favorite grandma.” From her years of experience feeding her family as a mother of four and now as a grandmother of nine, Barbara Costello has perfected her roster of comforting and delicious family-approved meals.
Now, all the mealtime ingenuity that has been passed down to her, or that she’s earned through trial and error, will be found in her highly anticipated cookbook EVERY DAY WITH BABS: 101 Family- Friendly Dinners for Every Day of the Week. With Babs as the surrogate mom or grandma helping to get delicious meals organized, prepped, and on the table in no time, every night of the week— it will be the go-to dinner resource for busy home cooks.
Join us for a pre-event reception at 6pm. Meet Babs, buy a book, and get it signed. Elm Street Books will be on-site selling books. The talk will begin at 6:30pm.
Babs Costello is the bestselling author of Celebrate with Babs, and she’s also a regular guest on Today, Good Morning America, and The Drew Barrymore Show, where she shares her household tips, tricks, hacks, and delicious recipes. A former teacher and preschool founder, she is also wife to her loving husband, Mr. Babs.
