Coming…
February 1, 2025!
Join us for what we hope will become an annual community event! Help us bring light into the darkness of winter as we decorate the library’s front lawn with an illuminated village, and hang illuminated paper lanterns all around the grounds!Our festival will include an evening parade down Scott Dyer Road, and live music and hot chocolate at the library!
If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Rachel Davis, Library Director.
Make Lanterns!
You can make lanterns and houses for the festival. Easy lanterns can be made from:
- Two liter soda bottles and tissue paper
- Papier mache and balloons
- Paper bags (this link is for a very simple one, but you can make them as elaborate and fancy as you like!)
- Other homemade lanterns welcome!
Need a little help making a lantern or a house? We will have kits with all you need to make a paper bag lantern available for pick-up, and we will also be hosting several workshops where you can learn to make star lanterns and houses from paper and wooden sticks. You can also create houses from milk or juice cartons.
We are offering a number of workshops on making lanterns and houses.
