Grab a book and your favorite sweater and head to Hayner Library at Alton Square Mall for the one-year anniversary of our reading retreat!

While here, sip on hot cocoa, eat a snack, create your own winter scene in a jar, chat about books, and read too! You are welcome to bring your own drinks and treats as well.

Not sure what to read? Clear up your “to be read” list, check out a library book before you join us, use this time to finish a super-long book you’ve been intimidated by, read a few short stories, or cycle through a few books four or five chapters at a time. If you still don’t know what to read, be sure to check out our winter-themed book display on your way in. This is an open house-style program, so please feel free to stay for a short while or the entire time.

Registration is limited to twenty patrons. Please register by calling 1-800-613-3163.
