May 15 is National Chocolate Chip Day! Maxwell’s holding a blind tasting of several different chips to see which one our patrons like the best.
Sign up by Monday, May 10, so we can get your sample pack ready. Each will have a small number of chips safely packaged with each type identified by letter only. Rank them from your most to least favorite on our Google Form (or on paper). We’ll compile the results and announce Maxwell Library’s favorite chocolate chip. This is open to everyone—adults, families, and kids. Have fun with it!
And hey, even if yours doesn’t win, you still get to eat chocolate!
