The Osceola Library System encourages you to submit to our two Community Collections on Biblioboard! The Library is currently accepting submissions for:
Osceola County Cuisine
Family recipes are like time machines and are an important part of local culture. One taste of a family recipe handed down through generations immediately connects us to our past and brings us together.
What is the local flavor of Osceola County? We invite you to submit your favorite original recipes for our collection of Osceola County Cuisine, highlighting the creativity of our community.
Submission Guidelines:
The submission process is free and you are welcome to submit as many recipes as you like. Before you submit, please be aware of the following guidelines regarding copyright:
- A listing of ingredients does not violate copyright. Similarities between your recipe and someone else’s is okay.
- You may not, however, copy a recipe from a published book or someone’s website without their permission because the illustrations, instructions, and descriptions are protected.
- Submissions must be your own original recipe, or that of a friend or family member that has given their permission.
- A scan of your great-grandmother’s handwritten recipe is fine.
- Submissions may also include digitized copies of historical recipes or books that are public domain.
Submit your recipes here.
Local History
Do you love Osceola County and its rich history? Us, too! We are creating an invaluable collection of digitized photographs chronicling the county’s history, growth, and change through 1975. This collection will provide you the opportunity to explore the history of the county and its people, and connect the community to its past.
We need your help! We are asking you to pull out your albums and boxes from the attic to be part of our Local History Collection. Scan your photos, then submit them here. Photo submissions can represent local agriculture, government, industry, transportation, education, community arts, events (i.e. rodeo), construction/development, clubs, and society organizations (i.e. Amvets, DAR, Boys/Girl Scouts, etc.). We also welcome photographs of our local veterans (through the Gulf War) to be a part of our special collection honoring their bravery and sacrifice.
