The North Bend Public Library invites the community to celebrate the Winter Solstice on Monday, December 22, with an evening of seasonal crafts, treats, and storytelling.

From 4:00-6:00 PM, visitors can enjoy hands-on craft stations and make beeswax candles, pomanders, and other sun-themed creations that mark the return of longer days. Seasonal snacks and beverages will also be available as guests gather to welcome winter.

At 6:00 PM, the festivities continue with a special Reader’s Theater presentation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The performance will feature John Beane and other local actors, bringing to life this timeless story of generosity and redemption.

All Winter Solstice Celebration events are free and open to all ages.
