Program Description

Event Details

Cozying up with a good book and steaming mug of hot cocoa is how Icelanders have spent their Christmas Eve since WWII when paper was one of the few things not rationed.  This tradition has become so popular it has a name "Jolabokaflood!" or book flood as translated in English. The Mary Esther Library is bringing "Jolabokaflood!" here! 

 It will begin on Friday Dec. 19th from 10:00-5:00pm, Dec. 20th from 10:00am-5:00pm   and end at 5:00pm Monday Dec. 22nd. 

Plan on visiting the library during these dates to experience the popular Icelandic tradition of "Jolabokaflood!" and perhaps you will make it one of your own holiday traditions!
