Are you feeling the February blahs? If it feels like winter is just dragging on and on, you might need to dial up your "hygge." Hygge (pronounced hue-guh) is a Danish word that describes an atmosphere of coziness and comfort and has been embraced around the world in recent years (and celebrated on February 28 as International Hygge Day).

How can you boost feelings of hygge at home? By surrounding yourself with things that bring you comfort and warmth—soft blankets, flickering candles, your favorite scents, nourishing foods, a cheerful chat with a loved one over a cup of cocoa. Cuddling up with a book is an ideal hygge ambition, too, but we also want to remind you that your library card gives you access to hundreds of e-magazines. So whether you're looking to enhance your hygge-ness through knitting, baking, sewing, or cozy decor or you've reached full hygge and just want to settle down with an entertaining magazine to read, here is just a small sampling of all the e-magazines available with your library card through the digital resources Flipster and PressReader.
