While we may or may not see more snowflakes fall from the sky this year, we can still make some beautiful snowflakes of our own! Our Messy Arts and Crafts take and make kit this month has everything you need to experiment with blending colors and cutting shapes while creating snowflakes that you can hang in your window during the winter season. Pick up your kit during open hours starting Monday, January 3rd. Kits are available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. For kids.

Our next book club selection is Exhalation by Ted Chiang! We're mixing it up in a few ways this month. This is the first science fiction book we've chosen. Check it out if you gravitate to books that ask big questions and expand a sense of what is possible. It's also a short story collection, so there's no need to read it cover to cover – if free time is especially scarce, or you're not liking one of the stories, bop around and read what works for you!

Our winter clothing free store has closed, and overall we served 91 visitors who picked up clothing for themselves (and in many cases their friends and relatives, too). Thank you to everyone who donated clothing (and more) for helping to keep our neighbors warm!
