Winter Solstice Storytime

Mark the shortest day, the longest night, and the beginning of winter at our Winter Solstice Storytime. This program is for all ages. We'll share stories of light in darkness, have a snack, and make a winter solstice craft. Dress warmly; when sunset happens, we'll go outside and light the night!
Recurring Programs for All Ages

Every 2nd (or 1st or 3rd) Wednesday of the month we meet via Zoom or at the Platt Library at 7:30pm to discuss a book of your choice. The only catch: it has to feature the letter of the month as either the first letter in a word in the title OR as the first letter in the first or last name of the author.
