On Thursday, October 31 st, many from our community turned out to enjoy an evening of Halloween fun at Gov.

Letter to the Editor of the Wood County Democrat, “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that is kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt and perhaps it says ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'” ~Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass (perhaps another good winter read). Chilly weather plus a good book can equal a pretty great affect on the imagination. I like to live dangerously.Īnyway, whether you prefer the comraderie of reading among other readers at the library or the solitude of reading by yourself at home, don’t forget to take in a few books over the rest of theĬold/rainy weather season. Little recipe and I’m not really sure if the measurementsĪre correct because I’m just guessing. I’ll include a homemade hot chocolate recipe belowĬombine all this in a mug and add some hot milk. Covered beverages are allowed, so you can bring in that cappucino.įor reading at home, hot chocolate or tea is the perfect companion (check out the sweet chairs in our reference section), but as for the blanket and beverage, you’ll have to bring your own. The Quitman Public Library can provide the comfy chair by the window Obviously the winter reading experience is rather incomplete without a comfy chair by the window, a blanket and a hot beverage. I hear it’s pretty popular.Īnd for some reason I find that winter weather is excellent for reading mysteries and classics, so if I had to suggest some good cold weather books from my own experience, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and The Murder of Roger Acroyd by Agatha Christie are a couple of the first titles that come to mind. Plus the new Divergent Series: Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant by Veronica Roth is in our collection now.

The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert

Some of the lastest editions to our collection here at the Quitman Public Library are some excellent candidates for good winter reads: So bundle up, head over to your local library and check out a few good reads. It might even help cure the winter blues. Reading more books in the coming year is a good New Year’s resultion, and a great way to relax after the holidays.
