A Scandinavian Winter Solstice

Kick off our Winter Reading Challenge with this special Scandinavian Winter Solstice Celebration! Enjoy songs, stories, and dancing led by Norwegian culture bearers Kari Tauring and Carol Sersland. How did the ancient people of Scandinavia spend the darkest days of the year? Learn about the importance of evergreens, the unseen folk, why everyone should have new mittens, and what other ancient roots still survive in today’s Scandinavian Winter Solstice traditions. At the event you can register for our Adult Winter Reading Challenge and usher in the cozy reading days!
