Description

Press release from the White Plains Public Library: December 15 2020 By Raquel Cavalcanti, Children's Librarian Christmas and New Year's are times to spend with family, and create memories. This year, the challenge to safely create family special moments is greater, but with a little ingenuity it can be done. Penguin Books has come up with 13 Festive Family Activities to Get You in the Christmas Spirit. They write, "The run-up to Christmas 2020 is certainly going to be a little different. But you don't have to go to a Christmas market or a Santa's grotto to experience the mirth and merriment of the season." I really like the activities they list – they are safe, simple and fun ways to spend special moments with your kids. You'll find below a diverse list of Christmas and New Year's eBooks including Spanish titles that are great to share with young readers, and also listed are Christmas craft titles to inspire you and your family to get creative this season. The titles also offer links to our catalog in case you would like to place holds on books which can be picked up in the Library's vestibule once you receive notification that they are ready and waiting for you – enjoy and have a happy and safe holiday season!
