Lantern Walk

The Children’s Room will be hosting a lantern walk for families, with the intention of bringing community together in a mindful and meaningful way. Stop by the Children’s Room anytime during open hours on 10/6 or 10/7 to decorate your own lantern OR you are welcome to make one at home.

On Wednesday October 8th everyone who has made a lantern will meet on the library lawn at 6:00pm. We will then begin our lantern walk around the block and return to the library for cider and a treat. For safety reasons we will not be using open-flame candles of any kind. The library will provide a battery-operated tea light or a glow stick for your lantern.

The lantern walk is a tradition that celebrates hope, kindness, and the light within us. In many cultures a fall lantern walk traditionally occurs during autumn harvest festivals. These festivals represent the quiet beauty of the coming winter season and remind us to shine our light and share our joy with others during the darker half of the year.

We hope you will join us!
