In this episode of The Silverton Library Connection, we explore enchanting book traditions from around the world! Join Misti Anderson as she dives into Iceland's beloved “Jolabokaflod” (Christmas Book Flood), where gifting books on Christmas Eve is a cherished tradition. We’ll also uncover the magic of “Book Fairies” — people who leave books in unexpected places for others to discover. Plus, we'll explore other heartwarming traditions that celebrate the joy of reading and sharing stories. Whether you're a bibliophile or just curious about global customs, this episode is sure to inspire the book lover in all of us!
