Doughnuts: A Delicious History

There’s a “hole” lot more to doughnuts than meets the eye! Join Reference Librarian Hillary Peppers of the St. Louis County Library at the Mirowitz Center for a sweet journey from ancient Greeks to modern times. Discover how this beloved treat traveled the high seas before becoming an American staple, its surprising wartime significance, rise in industrial production, and the local St. Louis shops that keep the tradition alive. Just in time for Hanukkah — when sufganyot (jelly doughnuts) take center stage — this delightful presentation is filled with history, stories, and “sprinkles” of nostalgia. Plus… we’ll have doughnuts to share! No cost to register, but RSVP required.
