January is National Hot Tea Month and it’s the perfect time to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea! On Mondays the Library has Tea Time starting at 9:30am. Come by the library’s reading room for tea, coffee, or cocoa, to read the papers, and meet your neighbors. We’ll be providing hot water and tea or instant coffee and cocoa for self-service beverages, and the reading materials.
Below find some Tea related books to try out at home or perhaps during Tea Time.
