Readers Dish Out Food For Thought In Oradell Library's Cookbook Club ORADELL, N.J. -- Something's cooking at the Oradell Public Library -- and in the not-so-distant future, locals will get a "taste." According to Linda Van Valkenburgh, an administrative assistant at the library, the Oradell Public Library Cookbook Club, which has been meeting monthly since September 2014, is on the verge of publishing its own cookbook.
