Hygge ("hoo-ga") is about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures. The Danish concept is many things, including an opportunity to unwind and take things slow. Drop in to The Community Library all week for puzzles, games, coloring, and of course, reading! Enjoy our offerings, or bring your own games and crafts. Quiet spaces can be found throughout the library, including by our fireplace, and the Lecture Hall will be set up as a place to gather and be cozy together. Each afternoon from 1:00-3:00 we'll have free cookies and warm treats available in the Lecture Hall. All are welcome!
