Hello Winter

The kids are out of school, and you are (desperately) looking for something fun to do.  Bring them to Winter Wonderland at the Hoover Public Library this Wednesday, December 21, 2022 at 10:30 a.m.!  It's the first day of winter, and we're celebrating with 25 snowy S.T.E.A.M. activities perfect for the whole family.  They will be spread throughout the Kid Zone and Youth Program Room, and you can enjoy as many or as few of them as you want.  We're expecting a large crowd at this free, no-registration event, so you probably want a sneak peek of what we have planned.  Here you go!
