February 1st - the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox - is the beginning of Black History Month and we have a great selection of books to expand our understanding. The children's selection of titles ranges widely from middle grade biographies to picture book stories of this country’s past. Upstairs, the adult display features a rotating collection of titles from cooking to history to biography to fiction.

February 1st is also the Lunar New Year and in Chinese culture, we enter the Year of the Tiger. Though the book is set in Korea, the cover of Beasts of a Little Land - one of our new acquisitions - is irresistible…

Smack dab in the middle of February we have Valentine’s Day! Check out one of our new collections of poetry to get your words just right! Or perhaps Brene Brown’s new book, Atlas of the Heart is your next read.
|
|
And be sure to check out our ever growing collection of new titles - either in the library - or online. You'll find more than 18 dozen of our newest books listed on the NWPL webpage!
|

Of course, our creative Children's Librarians will tailor Storytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays to highlight these seasonal subjects.
Stop by or join us online soon. Remember, we are halfway to Spring!
