SUMMARY:Hygge ‘HOO-gah’ Happiness
DESCRIPTION:“In Denmark\, winters are especially long\, yet Danish people are considered some of the happiest in the world. They embrace the dark winter months with the joyful practice of Hygge (pronounced ‘HOO-gah’) meaning coziness\, candlelight\, nature\, and meeting with friends.” – Emma Mitchell from Making Winter: a Hygge-inspired Guide to Surviving the Winter Months. \nEnjoy an immersive experience\, lit by candlelight\, focusing on intentional happiness and community with Scandinavian-inspired arts and crafts\, meditative coloring\, peaceful music\, a crackling fireplace\, and hot beverages (bring your own mug\, if desired.) You’ll gain some tips to create “hygge\,” and choose from a selection of library books to bring home which inspire joy and relaxation. \nHygge events are sponsored by the Friends of the Library. A special limited edition Hygge tea blend will be provided by downtown DeKalb’s Thyme ‘N Again Apothecary. Local honey for tea provided by Big Red’s Heavenly Honey. \nFor September\, create watercolor postcards\, gratitude magnets\, and Zentangle-inspired patterns. \nIn October\, paint papier-mâché masks\, do folk art with stickers\, and make a spooky candle decoration. \nNovember’s event will feature three craft options: a stenciled tote bag\, flannel lap warmer\, and scented warmer discs. \nThis program is intended for adults. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is not required. First come\, first served while supplies last. \nFor more information\, please contact Susan at susang@dkpl.org or (815) 756-9568 ext. 2114.

SUMMARY:Meeting the Moment: Veteran Artists Creating After Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Join Giselle Futrell\, Marine Corps veteran and Executive Director of the National Veterans Art Museum (NVAM) along with Moki Tantoco\, NVAM’s Director of Programs and Exhibitions\, for an exploration of how military service shapes artistic vision and creative response. From the museum’s founding members who built community and processed the Vietnam War through their work to today’s veteran artists grappling with contemporary conflicts and social change\, this conversation examines the unique perspective veterans bring to the creative process. Discover how these artists channel their experiences of service\, transition\, and witness into powerful works that speak to universal themes of resilience\, transformation\, and rebuilding—both personal and collective. This dialogue will illuminate the vital role military connected artists play in helping us understand not just where we’ve been\, but how we move forward together. \nReception to follow at the Pick Museum of Anthropology. \nCosponsored by the School of Art and Design. In collaboration with NIU’s Military and Veteran Services. \nThis event is in conjunction with the “How We Rebuild” exhibition on display through Dec. 19. This exhibit is a program of ExhibitsUSA\, a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance and The National Endowment for the Arts.
