Sledding, skiing, snowball fights and snow angels. These might have been a few of the activities that you were looking forward to doing with your kids or grandkids during winter break. This isn’t your typical winter though, and the below-average snowfall might be leaving you wondering what to do during mid-winter break. Why not join us at the Northern Onondaga Public Library (NOPL) for one of our many fun, free events this week?
