Cary Library patrons were treated to an evening of coziness on Wednesday, Dec. 14 at the first Carybokaflod (pronounced “Cary boke ah flode”). Inspired by the Icelandic celebration of Jolabokaflod, or Yule Book Flood, the library created its own winter tradition by offering a warm night of calm renewal during this busy season. Patrons enjoyed hot chocolate, tea and cookies, a fireplace and twinkling lights, reading in small groupings of comfy chairs, a children’s storytime, book-related crafts, and an opportunity to buy and wrap a book from the Friends Bookstore for a family member or friend. The library hopes to make this an annual Lexington tradition, and even expand the offerings over multiple days.
