Discussion: Book Flood
2026-12-01 14:00:00 2026-12-01 15:30:00 America/New_York Discussion: Book Flood Princeton Public Library - Newsroom

Tuesday, December 01
2:00pm - 3:30pm

Add to Calendar 2026-12-01 14:00:00 2026-12-01 15:30:00 America/New_York Discussion: Book Flood Attendees and library staff gather to discuss their favorite recent books and find their next read at this event based on the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokaflod. Cookies and hot cocoa will be served. Princeton Public Library - Newsroom

Attendees and library staff gather to discuss their favorite recent books and find their next read at this event based on the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokaflod. Cookies and hot cocoa will be served.

Library staff will share some of their favorite books of 2026, buzz about forthcoming titles and offer advice for finding your next book to read or give as a gift. 

Jolabokaflod, or the Yule Book Flood, began during World War II when imports were restricted, but paper was cheap. Iceland could not support a year-round publishing industry, so book publishers flooded the market with new titles in the final weeks of the year, and the tradition of exchanging books as gifts in December was born.
