Macedon Public Library Cookie Exchange

On Friday, December 21 at 11 am, Macedon Public Library will hold a Christmas Cookie Exchange.  The library invites 10 people to bring in five dozen cookies to exchange. With 10 people participating, each person will be able to have half a dozen of each type of cookie.  This means everyone involved will have a great variety of cookies to put on their Christmas cookie platter!  To participate, one must register and commit to a type of cookie as described in the rules below:
