Elements from the Traces library for creative literacy and work by 10 or more local artists and artisans will be installed in the Hayloft gallery during Winterfest 2006. The upstairs community room will feature work by at least 15 local artists and artisans.

Food and refreshments will be available during Winterfest in the food court at the South end of the first floor hallway, and a variety of arts and craft activity options will be offered to youngsters. 10 musical performances are scheduled.
