January: Europe

Bon voyage! The first region we're visiting this year is Europe. From the icy fjords of Scandinavia to the sunny beaches along the Mediterranean Sea, there is so much to explore in this continent. Check out our Europe Reading List to help you think about what books you want to read.

Starting on Tuesday of each week, we'll have a different craft kit ready in the entryway of the library for your family to take home:

• Tuesday 1/5: Travel journals/passports
• Tuesday 1/12: Roman mosaics
• Tuesday 1/19: Flamenco fans and castanets
• Tuesday 1/26: Stained glass rose windows

And every week, there's also a recipe for a traditional European dish for you to try to make at home. Be sure to send us pictures of your completed recipes! You can tag us on Instagram and Facebook (@jerichotownlibrary) or email photos to library@jerichotownlibraryvt.org. The links for all these recipes can be found below, and there will also be printed copies available in the library entryway:

• Week 1: German pretzels
