A Very Blustery Day

It's cold outside and, looking at the weather forecast, it's only going to get colder with lots and lots of snow. It's the kind of weather that requires a big blanket, a cup of hot chocolate, and a good book.

On your way home this week, you might think about stopping in at the library to pick up some supplies to get through this freezing cold weekend. We've got tons of great books, movies, and music that will chase away boredom while you're stuck inside. We've even got books that will teach you to knit that blanket if you don't already have one at home!
