[aisle] Holiday decorations/display

[Dawn Scuderi]

Leanne!  I love this diversity!  I did something similar a few years back
to celebrate Ramandan, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas.  Our library
display included lanterns, dreidels and a Menorah, the cup and cloth for
Kwanzaa and a Christmas tree.  It was really popular.

This year we are focusing on Hygge!  Winter Cozy.  It goes with the
libraries SEL Mental Health and Self Care theme this year.

Good luck with it!  I may steal your tree idea for next year!
