From zebras to camels to monkeys, there are so many fun button designs to collect. Patrons can check the BPLD newsletter to find out which programs are the cultural ones in order to start collecting buttons.

Youth patrons will also get a special button by signing up for the Winter Reading Club, which runs from December 21 - February 25.

And then, to wrap up the celebrations, the Bartlett Library is putting on an ultimate ethnic extravaganza. There will be more information to follow concerning details for the Cultural Finale Party, which will take place on Saturday, February 25.
