Before the pandemic, Ilsley Library used to host an annual Noon Year’s Eve party with a special countdown — and all the hats and glasses and noise-makers — at 11 a.m. on Dec. 31. Until it’s safe to gather again, the library is giving out free party kits so families can do their own festive countdowns at home.
Pick up your kit in the children’s room anytime next week, starting Monday, Dec. 27, until supplies run out.
And happy New Year from MiniBury!
