​hygge: /ˈhʊɡə/ A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture) Oxford English Dictionary

Here at the library, we believe life should be more hygge overall, and where better to embrace 'comfortable conviviality' than at your neighborhood branch? So put on some cozy clothes, grab a friend, and join us to hear short stories performed at our first ever Hyggelib event. Attendees enter a drawing to win a hygge starter kit.
