A grilled cheese may seem like a simple meal! Butter on the griddle, two pieces of bread and some cheese. It is certainly a delicious choice, but that can get boring after a while! Many have found their own special remedy for the “normal” grilled cheese… but bringing it up in conversation can bring out the fire in the eye. Some folks don’t use butter at all! Why not some mayonnaise! I hear it gives an extra crunch. Or maybe an obscure mustard, bacon, or even bananas. It’s sort of like your parent’s meatloaf. That meatloaf is the only meatloaf you’ll eat!

At the Falmouth Public Library – Main Branch on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at 12:00 PM we will be making the grilled cheese sandwiches on flattop burners. We will be providing a variety of bread and cheeses. Don’t forget to bring your secret ingredient(s) and share it with your friends and other library patrons!

One suggestion that we can make is use different cheeses! We will have all the basics ready for your mystery …Gouda? Cheddar? Swiss? Alternatively, just plain old American cheese? Do not be scared to try something new! The beautiful aromas will fill the library.

The event is appropriate for patrons ages 11+. There will be library staff enjoying and overseeing the event. Adults and parents are more than welcome to join in on the fun! We will be having games and activities all about the Hermann Room while we cook up our glorious melted cheese and bread. The games may be a little “cheesy” (without the mess).

12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
