Winter at the Library

What do Robert Frost, Jan Brett, Thoreau, and Edwin Teale all have in common? An appreciation for SNOW. Whether you enjoy winter best by reading your favorite author, or by studying nature as you hike, ski, or snowshoe, winter offers us many opportunities to gain a new perspective on cold and snow. Our library exhibit this month highlights nature’s winter gifts, and more information about local snowshoeing/skiing areas and birding in winter.
