Plan a Party with Your Family
There's nothing like an epic snowball fight or toboggan ride! But winter's also a great time to stay in with the whole family. Tell each other stories. Invent your own board games. Or maybe you'd like to experiment with new recipes in the kitchen. What about hosting a tea party for your stuffed animals?
Although Family Literacy Day is January 27, the party doesn't have to stop when the weekend's over. Celebrate with your fam by reading, playing and learning together all year round. Your library card is your ticket to adventure and magic!
Cook up something special
Sample a whole buffet of cookbooks on OverDrive. By the way, you're invited to meet author Nadia L. Hohn on February 16! Come learn about how food is connected to fighting racism.
The Antiracist Kitchen edited by Nadia L. Hohn and illustrated by Roza Nozari
