Dunedin loves a good snow day. With this in mind the current Library display uses Shakespeare's Richard III to remind people that the coldest day can be made enjoyable by one basking in the warm glow of a good book. A dusting of snowflakes covers this idea with the promise of a snow day, hopefully Monday, when we can all stay in bed and read!
