WHAT TO DO THIS WINTER


Winter in Wisconsin can be a pretty long season.  Whether you love or hate the cold months, you have a few still ahead of you.  If you are already wishing for spring, then you may want to try some of these activities to help you through the rest of the winter season.

Outdoor Activities:

Hiking
Snowboarding, skiing, and/or sledding
Ice fishing
Ice skating
Photography

Indoor Activities:

Cooking and/or baking
Learn a new language
  • Use Mango Languages!  Accessible from our website on our Resources page: als.lib.wi.us/EFPL
Writing
Reading
  • Continue to check our blog for book recommendations
  • Stop by and browse the library's collection
Knitting, sewing, and/or crocheting
Indoor gardening

And, you can always visit your local library!  Whether you want to stop in to check out materials or attend a program, we'd love to see you.  This winter we have added a couple of new collections to our library: Discovery Kits and early literacy apps.

The first phase of our Discovery Kits are now available for check out.  These kits include materials for hands on learning on the topics of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  Some of the kits currently available include Snap Circuits, Ozobots, and KEVA planks.  These kits were made possible through a grant from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Our early literacy app collection is up and running.  We have 3 iPads set up in the children's room that will feature different apps throughout the year.  This station will allow you to try new apps and learn about how the apps can be used to develop early literacy skills.
