All week long
Island libraries offer a variety of special events for the winter break this week. Visit any of the libraries and pick up your “passport,” then take it with you to any special event you attend and earn a “stamp.” After three stamps, take your passport to the library and pick up your treasure. You can visit the same library all three times, or mix it up and try three different libraries during the week.
