Winter Wonder Library

An annual event since 2024, Winter Wonder Library takes all the best things about midwest winters and brings them together under the library roof for one cozy evening. Winter Wonder Library is a great opportunity to create a lasting traditions and memories with your family and has something for everyone:

Do cold weather and snowstorms inspire you to hibernate? We’ve got all the hygge you can handle. Settle in for a cozy story read by a local celebrity, post your coziest photo from our fireside photo booth, or just find a warm place to cuddle up and watch the festivities!

Do cold, early winter evenings inspire your crafty side? We have something for that! Create library keepsakes at our craft table and make a luminary to light up your own home this winter.

Do the brisk winter months make you want to move? We have activities for active winter fans, too. Enjoy raucous snow-themed games and burn off all that excess indoor energy.

Is making cherished winter memories on your to-do list? Come on down. Experience the magic of an illuminated library after hours, complete with an ice sculpture, family games, storytime, and cheerful backdrops for all your Instagrammable moments.

Not interested in crafts, dancing, games, cocoa, or seasonal fun? Enjoy the extra hour of library service and stop by for after-hours browsing and checkout.

Winter Wonder Library takes place in mid-January, see the Winter News & Views or visit calendar.rhpl.org for details on dates and times.
