Head to the Library!

Boredom can strike when it’s too cold to play outside. Luckily, our public libraries offer an abundance of free indoor activities. We present a sampling of library events here, but you’re encouraged to examine the calendar of the library branches nearest you to find similar activities.

Film Fest
