Chinese New Year Books | 農曆新年書籍 | 农历新年书籍
This upcoming Lunar New Year on February 12 will be different from so many others in years past. Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, all of the traditional ways of celebrating the holiday — gathering together for family reunion dinners, visiting temples and churches, meeting up with friends and organizing/attending parades and shows — cannot happen because of health and safety reasons.
The New York Public Library is here to help patrons of all ages and families with their alternative, physically and socially-distant Lunar New Year home celebrations with this suggested reading list of holiday picture books and cookbooks in Chinese / 新年書單 / 新年书单. We've also made a list of free virtual holiday events from a local library and other New York City arts organizations.
The next year will be the Year of the Ox / Bull / Cow. The zodiac sign is characterized as hard working, resilient and strong. We hope the Chinese New Year / the Spring Festival holiday brings good health, good safety and good fortune.

在2月12日到來的農曆新年將與過去的許多新年有所不同。由於全球 COVID-19 大流行,所有慶祝節日的傳統方式由於健康和安全的原因而無法進行 - 例如聚在一起參加家庭團圓飯,參拜寺廟和教堂,與朋友見面,規劃或參加遊行和表演。
紐約公共圖書館在這裡為各個年齡段的讀者提供可以在保持社交距離下而進行的其他選擇 - 一些有關過年的圖畫書和食譜書單,我們圖書館和其他紐約市藝術組織提供的一些免費網上活動。
明年將是牛年。它的特點是勤奮,富有彈性和堅強。我們希望農曆新年/春節假期能帶來健康,安全和運氣。
