Introducing Blizzard Pack Books

Snowy weather has closed the Library three times for February. Perhaps “Murphy” will favor us with no more storms with the introduction of Blizzard Pack Books! Two shelves of the puzzle cart have wrapped books with hints to what you can find inside. Keep one on a shelf to unwrap and enjoy on a day when you can’t make it to the Library!
