Feb 26-Mar 4 (Durham)
Good morning, Durham. Is it just me, or is this last stretch of winter absolutely crawling by? I'm so over bundling kids into winter coats, navigating icy sidewalks with a stroller, and spending 45 minutes just to get out the door. But here's the good news: Daylight saving time is next weekend, which means longer evenings, and spring is officially just a few weeks away. We're in the home stretch! Until then, this weekend brings the Uxbridge Farmer's Market, Ajax ComiCon for superhero fans, Ramadan storytimes celebrating community across libraries, and free parent-child skating at Pickering's Chestnut Hill complex. Hang in there—we've got this!
