This March, Upper Hutt City Library will once again be taking part in the Big Library Read, the world’s largest digital book club through public libraries, connecting millions of readers around the world with the same eBook at the same time. For a two-week period beginning 17 March and finishing on 31 March, Upper Hutt City Library’s OverDrive users will ALL be able to borrow the very yummy-looking eBook, Art of the Pie, by pie guru Kate McDermott. No wait lists or holds needed!

Kate McDermott has taught the time-honoured craft of piemaking to thousands of people. Her pies have been featured in USA Today, The New York Times, Oprah.com, and more. In Art of the Pie she shares her secrets to great crusts, fabulous fillings, and to living a good life. Kate provides dozens of recipes for all the pie combinations you can dream up, with hints and tricks helpful to even the most experienced pie baker.
