About this event

Our 4th year celebrating the Icelandic Christmas Literary Tradition of Jolabokaflod! Exchanging books as presents goes back to Iceland during World War II. This "Christmas book flood" tradition is giving a book as a gift, unwrapping it and enjoying on Christmas Eve with a mug of hot chocolate! Please accept a book from the Waterford Public Library as our gift to you to honor this tradition. Gift books will be available at the Information Desk beginning Thursday, Dec 17 until they are gone. The books were donated to the library by members of our community throughout the year. One book, per person please.
