#It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Winter
It's the holiday season! While it might not be snowing in Florida, there are other signs of Winter approaching... The shorter days, the drop in temperatures... Not to mention the various religious and secular celebrations that happen in December. Little ones can get pretty excited this time of year and have a lot of questions. Plus, with the kids out of school for several weeks... Parents are often looking for ways to entertain and spend quality time with their kids.
Fortunately, the Library has a few suggestions for how you can spend those chilly winter days! Of course, we keep it pretty warm inside the Library. So, stop by and cozy up to a good book in your favorite nook... or drop in for a holiday-themed craft or other activity.
We also have a few special performances you'll want to check out!
