CURL UP WITH A GREAT BOOK written by SARAH NADEAU COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WASHINGTON COUNTY FREE LIBRARY As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, nothing is quite as comforting as curling up with a blanket, warm drink and great book. One of the best things about reading is that the wonderful feeling you experience when you finish that great book can be shared with loved ones. A book can be a thoughtful gift for any occasion and offers the opportunity to discuss ideas together. Sharing picture books at bedtime while using silly voices can create wonderful wintertime memories. Shared stories teach us and bring us closer together. These are a few of the many books you can borrow from the library to enjoy this winter and share with the important people in your life:

Children The 12 Days of Christmas by Greg Pizzoli – Elephant is excited to get so many gifts, but his dad doesn’t know what they are going to do with three French hens or 10 lords-aleaping! This book is a fun take on the classic “Twelve Days of Christmas” carol. Hanukkah Haiku by Harriet Ziefert – Ziefert has vivid memories of lighting the Hanukkah candles as a child. This book features vibrant artwork and a simple haiku poem for each candle lit on the menorah.
