A Winter Holiday Celebration at the Library of Congress December 26-28!

The Library of Congress has been hosting monthly Family Days throughout the fall and continuing them into winter with timely themes — Halloween, Hispanic Heritage Month, Veterans Day, Winter Holidays — and connected to the Libraries’ collections.  During these special days, families and visitors of all ages can enjoy hands-on activities for budding researchers and explore exhibitions on display in the Thomas Jefferson Building.

This month’s program is a Winter Holiday Celebration — and perfectly timed for Winter Break.  Taking place over three days, from December 26-28, this is one to put on your family’s agenda as you’re planning activities with the kids while they’re off from school.

During these special days, guests can create holiday cards, bookmarks, and more using beautiful imagery from Library’s winter-themed collections as inspiration. This Family Day will be hosted for three days starting on Thursday, December 26 through Saturday, December 28. Activities will be held on the mezzanine level of the Library’s Jefferson Building 10:30am – 3:30 each day. The event is free, but passes are required for the Jefferson Building.

Join the Library of Congress for a Veterans Day Family Program this Saturday!

 

Every month, the Library of Congress hosts a special Family Day, when visitors of all ages are invited to participate in collections-based activities for budding researchers and explore exhibitions on display in the Thomas Jefferson Building.  Each program includes a creative activity, connections to Library of Congress collections, a chance to talk to staff experts, and a guide to using Library resources at home.

This Saturday, November 9, the Family Day highlights Veterans Day, with activities related to the national holiday.  Dig into the role Victory Gardens played on the home front during the two World Wars, decorate a plant pot, and pick up seeds for your own herb harvest. And learn more about how Americans contributed to the war effort and supported the troops overseas.

Activities will be held on the mezzanine level of the Jefferson Building from 10:30am to 3:30pm. The event is free, but tickets are required.
