Jolabokaflod: A Holiday Open House
News originally published by
Campbell County - Kentucky
The annual Icelandic holiday celebration of Jolabokaflod returns to the Newport Branch on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 11 am-1 pm. Translating to "book flood," this tradition began during WWII after Iceland gained its independence from Denmark in 1944. As paper was one of the few items not rationed during the war, books became a popular Christmas gift. Tradition goes that these gifts were opened on Christmas Eve to be read and enjoyed while drinking hot chocolate with loved ones.
Celebrate this tradition with friends, family and fellow community members at CCPL's very own Jolabokaflod open house. Enjoy a cozy afternoon crafting, listening to music, sipping hot chocolate and selecting a book for someone special in your life.
Additionally, a photo area will be set up to take holiday pictures with friends and family. The library will have free books available to pick and take home for all ages.
We hope to see you there!
