Hygge (pronounced “hyoo-guh”) is a Danish concept that basically translates to creating a warm, cozy atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. As winter approaches, Durango Public Library, 1900 East Third Ave., will host a series of programs in November and December that bring people together and help us prepare for the coming dark and cold.

This program will include an introduction to the history of tea and a tasting of different varieties. Space is limited, so preregistration is required.
