Looking for some festive family fun this holiday season? Stop by the French Library to partake in activities inspired by traditional winter holiday celebrations in France! There will be story time, arts and crafts, and tasty treats. Come meet other families and our vibrant educational team while enjoying some light refreshments and drinks and listening to holiday music in French.
