Celebrating Winter Solstice

Welcome back the light as each new day begins to grow longer and longer by letting go of the past year and creating earthly home decorations.

Come to the Teen Underground and perform a short ritual with librarians Rachel and Donna to release that negativity and welcome the new year’s light by crafting some earthly decorations to take home.
