[Publib] Programming in areas with bad winter weather

[Lynnette Hopwood]

As a nearby (somewhat) library in Chicagoland, I would also be interested
in how other libraries deal with this issue. I am new to programming, and
I have been told not to plan any programs when the Bears play.

To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new 
friend; to read it for a second time is to meet an old one.
