Southlake Public Library
Up rose the wild old winter-king; And shook his beard of snow, "I hear the first young hard-bell ring, 'Tis time for me to go! Northward o'er the icy rocks, Northward o'er the sea, My daughter comes with sunny locks: This land's too warm for me!" ~Charles Godfrey Leland, American humoristOld man winter is outside your window, but that's okay. You're snug inside with one of these bestsellers picked up from the Southlake Public Library.
