As winter drags on and we long for warm sunny days at the beach and outdoor entertaining around the bbq, consider this:

mulled wine or hot chocolate by the fireside
hosting a mid-winter Christmas do
piping hot stew and dumplings
cheesy muffins with tasty hot soup
visiting the local hot springs
ice skating, snowboarding or skiing
tucking in the warmth of your home with a good book
taking a trip to the snow to toboggan down the hillsides
hosting a card evening
inviting friends to a potluck dinner at your place
getting lost for an hour or two exploring the digital library
discovering your family history at our libraries

Check our catalogue for new winter cooking recipes from our books, DVDs, eBooks or magazines to help you create something to impress your family or friends and take your mind off the winter blues. Borrow a book on visiting one of our mountain resorts or ski areas. We also have books about various card games the whole family may enjoy.

Try a few of these ideas and before you know it Daffodil Day will be here and then the beautiful blossom will be sprouting on to the trees looking like popcorn and indicating that summer is on its way.
