Join us to celebrate that unpronounceable Icelandic Holiday that’s all about books, reading, and chocolate! Better known as the Christmas Book Flood, Christmas in Iceland means a lot of new books being published and a book under everyone’s Christmas tree. Christmas Day is usually spent reading in pajamas and eating a lot of goodies. So, on the 28^th come to the library in your newest PJs, with your favorite new book and we’ll provide the chocolate. We’ll be reading the first chapter of The Vanderbeekers of 141^st Street by Karina Yan Glaser at 10:30 and 5:30 and The Wild Christmas Reindeer by Jan Brett at 11 am and 6 pm. The first 10 families with a 9-13-year-old who come to the reading of The Vanderbeekers will receive a free copy of the book.

Fresh Perspectives
Do you love TED talks? Do you feel amazed when a friend offers a new viewpoint on a nagging problem? Do you love discussing a new perspective on life issues? Join us for Fresh Perspectives: A Ted talk and book discussion group, where we’ll look at old ideas from a new angle, look at life from a different slant, or entertain new approaches to the world. Every month we will discuss a video, whether a TED talk or Youtube video, a book, and an important issue. From Amanda Gorman’s The Hill We Climb, to Lidia Yukanavitch’s The Misfit’s Manifesto, we’ll consider poetry, activism, fitting in, equality, transitions, human purpose, and everything in between. We’ll take fresh looks, new views, and different perspectives, as we explore being human and living this one precious life.
