J\u00f3lab\u00f3kafl\u00f3d: A Celebration for Book Lovers

Celebrate Jólabókaflóð (YO-la-bok-a-flot), Iceland’s beloved Yule Book Flood tradition, at the library on December 5! Inspired by the custom of exchanging books and enjoying cozy reading time during the winter season, this celebration is all about stories, creativity, and connection.
Designed for teens and adults ages 13+, enjoy drop-in activities, including Nordic and book-inspired crafts, literary games, puzzles, and a scavenger hunt. Emily Midkiff from the Gyda Varden lodge and the Nordland Rosemaling Association will be leading drop-in rosemaling art lessons. Share a favorite read, discover something new, and savor festive beverages and treats. Complete a few activities for a chance to take home a surprise wrapped book (while supplies last).
Project : Constellation will perform traditional Nordic and holiday music from 1-2 p.m. Plus, shop the Friends' Specialty Book Sale, featuring premium books, puzzles, and unique gifts for readers, hobbyists, and art lovers. Every purchase supports the library!

Stop by anytime, get cozy, and celebrate the magic of books.
