From the Director's Office

As the colorful days of fall give way to the quiet beauty of winter, the library becomes an especially warm and welcoming place to be. Winter is a wonderful season for reading—shorter days and cooler temperatures create the perfect excuse to slow down, curl up with a good book, and explore new stories and ideas.
 

Whether you’re looking for cozy fiction, winter crafts, holiday inspiration, or resources to keep your family learning and engaged during the colder months, we’re here to support you. Our shelves are full, our programs are gearing up, and our staff is ready to help you discover something you’ll love.
 

We have a full lineup of events and activities planned for all ages as we move into the new season. Keep an eye out for:
 

  • Our annual PJ Party & Craft/Paint Night

  • The Friends of WPL Annual Craft Fair and Bake Sale

  • Winter-themed story reading and crafts for kids.

  • A special performance of A Christmas Carol by a Charles Dickens reenactor

  • Seasonal displays featuring great winter reads.

  • And more!
