About the event

Hygge (HOO-gah) Happiness
“In Denmark, winters are especially long, yet Danish people are considered some of the happiest in the world. They embrace the dark winter months with the joyful practice of Hygge (pronounced ‘HOO-gah’) meaning coziness, candlelight, nature, and meeting with friends.” - Emma Mitchell from Making Winter: a Hygge-inspired Guide to Surviving the Winter Months.

Enjoy an immersive experience, lit by candlelight, focusing on intentional happiness and community with Scandinavian-inspired arts and crafts, meditative coloring, peaceful music, a crackling fireplace, and hot beverages (bring your own mug, if desired.) You’ll gain some tips to create “hygge,” and choose from a selection of library books to bring home which inspire joy and relaxation.

Our Hygge events are sponsored by the Friends of the Library. A special limited edition Hygge tea blend will be provided by downtown DeKalb's Thyme 'N Again Apothecary. Local honey for our tea provided by Big Red’s Heavenly Honey.

For September, we’ll create watercolor postcards, gratitude magnets, and Zentangle-inspired patterns.

In October, we’ll paint papier-mâché masks, do folk art with stickers, and make a spooky candle decoration.

November’s event will feature three craft options: a stenciled tote bag, flannel lap warmer, and scented warmer discs.

This program is intended for adults. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is not required. First come, first served while supplies last.
