The Clearwater Public Library was a cozy place to be last weekend as 17 kids and adults gathered for the library’s Winter Holiday Story Time.

To the delight of the young ones, two winter themed stories were read, one with the help of a felt story board. Afterward the kids put their creativity to use to make mini gumball machine ornaments they filled with M&Ms. Once completed, some were as eager to eat the candy as they had been to make the ornament.
