Be a part of the fun (and yes, we'll have snow!) Build your Snow Folk on the Library grounds and then come inside to warm up (with cookies and cocoa, of course) and create snowflakes with artists from the Creativity Tank. Don't miss this incredibly fun morning! (And make sure to check out the Facebook page to see the Snow Folk, of all types, already built!)
