On a night like this
I can’t get any sleep
The air is so cold outside
And the snow’s so deep
Build a fire, throw on logs
And listen to it hiss
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn
On a night like this
—Bob Dylan, “On a Night Like This”
If not for you
Winter would have no spring
—Bob Dylan, “If Not for You”
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
—Robert Frost, “Dust of Snow”
To begin with, please forgive the unreasonable number of epigraphs, but I could not part with any of them. Many soul-stirring words have been written about winter, the coldest and darkest season, and if you’re not spending the winter in South Florida, chances are you will experience at least some snowfall, icy conditions and freezing temperatures before it’s over. Even here in Palm Beach County, there’s been a chill in the air. Whether you dread winter weather, or find it exhilarating, I hope you will take time to relax with a mug of hot cocoa and enjoy this Winter Vibes ‘found items’ collection. A photo taken from a balcony of the empty snow-blanketed night street below, a note of encouragement written in a New Year’s card during the Covid lockdown, a letter written to family and friends expressing gratitude at the start of a new year and a drawing of the regal Snowy Owl are among the objects that seemed appropriate for a January grouping. Sending warm wishes for a happy new year from the Friends volunteers!
The Bookmark Project is an ongoing effort by Friends Bookstore volunteers to collect all items left in donated books. We are incredibly grateful to our book donors as they allow us to offer gently used books to the public at affordable prices, which in turn allows us to fund major library programs and projects. Please enjoy this collection of found items, and please visit our bookstore, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (For more information, call us at 561-544-8596 and press 9.)

"The Bookmark Project: Winter Vibes" is a delightful initiative, blending creativity with seasonal inspiration. Winter-themed bookmarks featuring snowflakes, cozy scenes, or festive designs add a touch of warmth to every page turned. Just as the project highlights artistic expression, digitizing services USA play a crucial role in translating such creative ideas into precise, stitch-ready embroidery designs. Imagine these winter-inspired bookmarks brought to life as embroidered keepsakes! This fusion of art and technology not only enhances the project’s appeal but also offers a lasting way to cherish the beauty of winter vibes while supporting creative endeavors.
Great perception! Love it.
