Learn about winter holidays from around the world with the Children's Museum of Richmond!
Students will learn about celebrations that take place around the world and even in their own neighborhood. We will identify the four main components that comprise a celebration: light, food decorations, and games. We will also learn about children and their families who celebrate the winter holidays of Eid, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Lunar New Year, and interact with cultural props!

Ettrick-Matoaca Library serves the communities of Matoaca and Ettrick. It is situated on the outskirts of Virginia State University's Randolph Farm just down the road from the bustling Village of Ettrick. In 2013, the Ettrick-Matoaca Library was completely renovated as a better, brighter, more functional public space. It has one of several reading gardens located at libraries. Thanks to a gift from a local organization, the Ettrick-Matoaca Library is home to a makerspace that includes a 3-D printer, two sewing machines and raised garden beds for a community garden.
