With the air getting colder, you might be searching for some fun, cozy, indoor things to do. If so, here is your complete guide to winter at the library! From cozy reading recommendations to ice skates available for checkout, we have everything you need to have fun this winter!
Here are a few ways to make the most of this chilly season:
Cozy Winter Book Recommendations!
Head on over to our website to see our recommended reads for the season! There is such joy to be found in snuggling up with a good book! Come on in to the library to find cozy places to read here, too. Always feel free to ask library staff for recommendations of their favorite winter reads! If you are searching for even more – try pairing your cozy winter book with a fun winter movie as well!
Explore Our Library of Things!
We have all types of “things” that would be perfect for this winter season! If you plan to stay nice and warm inside, we have items spanning from holiday cookie cutters, to craft supplies (try out a new hobby!), to lots of board games! If you are braving the weather and heading outdoors, check out our ice skates, snowshoes, or sleds. Traveling this winter? Check out our car CD player, luggage scale, and selfie stick tripod!
