A Season of Thanks
at Queens Library
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. But this year, it’s not just about eating turkey and pumpkin pie until you’re ready to burst. Queens Library is hosting a range of seasonal events, including Thanksgiving storytime, movies, craft activities, and even a recipe swap. So bring your family and friends, get crafty, and give thanks at your local library.
