The Bozeman Public Library West Wing welcomes new residents and returning students for a practical overview of the season that begins in roughly twelve weeks. Topics include driveway etiquette during plow operations, the social compact of shoveling your neighbor’s walk, and why hardware stores sell out of ice melt by Halloween. Longtime locals will share perspective on wind chill, black ice, and the particular silence of a 20-below morning.

Hot cider and day-old maple scones provided by the Friends of the Library. No registration required, but attendees are encouraged to bring a pair of wool socks to donate.
